A short walk from Cracked Conch & Macabuca

Across the road from the Cayman Turtle Centre, Cracked Conch is an elegant waterfront restaurant that overlooks the sea from their outdoor terrace. Their fine dining menu is filled with sophisticated Caribbean favourites – try the chowder! On the lower level sits Macabuca (a favourite among locals!). Here, lunch time is just as busy as sunset, with diners taking advantage of the snorkelling spot right on the doorstep.

Enjoy a taste of Australia with a Caribbean twist at Tukka West. This is one of the most enviable waterfront spots on the island, and the cocktails are delicious! Their tacos are a huge hit with locals and visitors, and on Tuesdays they offer 2 for 1.

Basking in the sun on the West Bay shoreline is NOVA. The restaurant has quickly become very popular with families as well as visiting divers who can shore dive from the restaurant. All their cocktails are good, but if you like something a litte spicy, then you must try the Gardarita – its a favourite of many, including the team at Explore Cayman!
