It was wonderful to feel as if we were vacationing in a postcard! The view of water, sand and sunsets was lovely. Many days during our one week stay we had the beach all to ourselves, from morning coffee to late afternoon cocktails.
The water isn't so good for wading unless you have water shoes. Shells and small rocks till you're about 5 or 10 feet in. Snorkeling isn't great, but you'll see a lot of colorful starfish. Swimming, kayaking and floating is terrific.
A very short walk to the morning coffee shop or the Kaibo Yacht Club bar and restaurant. One evening we could hear the music at the yacht club from the condo porch, but it was pretty quiet inside our unit. Tuesday morning from about 730 till 930 they cleaned the beach with leaf blowers, but otherwise it was a perfectly quiet week.....just what we were looking for.
Starfish Point is only a 10 minute walk, but we saw so many starfish on our own beach (which was nicer than Starfish Point) that it really wasn't worth the walk. Rum Point is about a half hour walk. A bit nicer beach than Kaibo, but the accommodations there weren't right on the beach. Lots of mosquitoes after dusk, but our hosts provided Off.
Chisolm Grocery is a 10 minute drive. Much higher prices than Fosters, but very convenient and a fair selection. The water taxi to Cabana Beach ($25 round trip booked on the Cayman Ferry app) leaves directly from Kaibo dock and is a nice shopping and dining excursion, plus an opportunity to pick up groceries at Fosters. Good prices and fabulous selection there. They even have some water toys. (Innertubes for $17)
You'll want a car for restaurants (other than the yacht club) or for excursions to the botanical gardens, Crystal Cave, etc. There are bioluminescent and stingray excursions directly from Kaibo dock.
Kaibo was so much calmer and fewer people than Seven Mile and other beaches. But if you're looking for a quiet getaway, this is the place for you!
