Eden Rock is probably the most colorful snorkeling site on Grand Cayman and the good news to cruise passengers is that is it right off the waterfront. You don’t need to walk very far to get to this underwater paradise. It is located right beside Paradise restaurant on the waterfront too.

I think the investment bankers in located in Ugland house got it right when they set up shop because its right across the street. Anyway, if you are a cruise ship passenger this is the most accessible snorkeling spot and don’t think that you have been short changed because it was so close. On the contrary, if you only have enough time to do one snorkeling site in Grand Cayman then this would be the best place.

Actually, Stingray City would be even better but if you dont want to go that far – then Eden Rock is your best bet.

    In an earlier post you claimed that Cemetery Beach was the best place to snorkel. I am planning a vacation to the Cayman Island and I would like to know the best place to snorkeling. Would you recommend Eden Rock over Cemetery Beach? Or would you say that Stingray City is the best? Thanks in advance :)

    Hi Nancy – if you only choose one, I would have to go with Stingray City because its such a unique attraction, no other place in the world could compare to snorkeling in Stingray City. I love Cemetery beach because its on Seven Mile Beach and everytime you get tired, you can just get out of the water and chill for a bit. Eden Rock is very near the waterfront with no beach so it has its disadvantage. But when you get into the water – Eden Rock is amazing. It can hold its own against Cemetery beach. Lets just put it this way – if Eden Rock was accessible from a beach, it would probably be my favorite place :) Have a great time in Grand Cayman!
