-RUM POINT-

Rum Point is a public beach club at the top of the Cayman Kai peninsula that is a great place to visit. It is convenient for almost all guests staying in Villas or Condos on the Northside and East End of the island. There is a beach bar ("Wreck Bar"), Red Sail Sports concession for scuba/snorkeling/jetski/etc; a gift shop, shower/changing facilities and a great fine dining restaurant.  THIS is where you catch the catamaran snorkel boat to stingray city sandbar and snorkel trips.

The beach itself usually has NO waves, always clear water and often times when it is raining (or predicted to) on 7 Mile Beach--the sun is shining in Rum Point.

The Rum Point restaurant reopened in December 2008. The grill food is great, the beverages cold, plenty of seating, hammocks, lounge chaises and picnic tables-- and lastly; it offers shallow water & white sand barefoot beach for the kids- If it is windy on the Northside or East End-- it is probably calmer here. Rum Point gets VERY busy on Sundays with locals bringing their boats over for the day. You might skip Sunday afternoons. The fine dining restaurant is open Tuesdays - Saturdays. Please make reservations - 345-947-9412 ("J.B" or Carol)

Red Sail Sports is the watersports concession at Rum Point. They offer everything from jet-ski rental to SCUBA instruction. They have daily rentals of snorkeling gear, a glass bottomed snorkel boat excursion and also a 65' catamaran snorkel trip to the stingray city sandbar and coral gardens snorkeling site. I recommend the afternoon catamaran if they have it.

The Aerial view to the left shows the waves breaking on the reef just off Rum Point. The bright blue water indicates white sand bottom and the darker spots the coral heads and snorkeling spots.

You can hire the Cayman Helicopter Pilot (Jerome) to take you up for this view in person!

Red Sail offers many things for rental; Paddle Boats, Kayaks, Jet skis, Snorkel gear, Wake Boarding, SCUBA diving trips, Snorkeling trips and they can even help out together a private charter of a catamaran as well. Just ask Wally, Warren, Woody or the staff on duty at the "shop"!
