For Grand Cayman day we will be in port from 8:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. We will be tendered to shore. This means that you will not be able to just get on and off the boat at port. There will be tender boats to take us from the ship to the dock. So keep that in mind as well. It is not a difficult process to tender but you just want to be sure you leave enough time to return to the ship before the last tender heads out from port.
Here is a website I found that has some good beach information on Grand Cayman:

The "most popular" beach (or the one I hear mentioned most) is Seven Mile Beach. You can get here by bus (public transportation). Actually, I think you can get to a lot of beaches by bus instead of taxi.
Another popular beach I have read about is Rum Point but be aware that this beach is a good 50 minutes away from the cruise port. So if you go there, be sure you leave plenty of time to get back in time for departure.
Most of these beaches will have nearby hotels or restaurants that rent out beach chairs and umbrellas. So be prepared for that as well. The up side to renting a chair and/or umbrella is that this usually entitles you to use their restrooms. Bonus!
I have heard that the following places all cater to cruise ships as well - Royal Palms, Calico Jack's, or Tiki Beach. They have chair/umbrella rentals,
restaurants, restrooms and showers, watersports rentals, etc.
Enjoy!
