*Please note:
Tatenda, like many villas along the south and east coast, has a shallow beach entry via swim paths amongst some silty seagrass patches for the first 50-75' from shore. South Sound can also experience the same seasonal sargassum that affects most of the Caribbean. Sargassum is a generally harmless floating seagrass that is more unsightly than anything.
Fortunately, the Seven Mile Beach area (SMB) of Grand Cayman does not ordinarily see sargassum accumulation. All beaches in Cayman are public up to the high-water mark so guests can visit the beautiful beach areas along SMB for sandy, walk-in swimming if the beach entry is not to your liking – ask us for daily recommendations.
Grand Cayman is a friendly and generally safe island so you'll want to visit many different beaches during your stay. Smith Cove, Spotts Beach, Governor's Beach, Tiki Beach, Public Beach, etc. are excellent beaches to visit and offer the beautiful swim in water.
