We waited until our last day on the island -- May 6 -- to hit Cemetery Reef (or Cemetery Beach). This was by far the most spectacular snorkeling I've ever done. The fish -- mostly sargent majors -- would swim right up to you and then some would follow you around. All kinds of fish were in abundance and they weren't the least bit bothered by our presence.

I'm not well versed in the types of tropical fish (there were so many), but spotted a stingray close to shore as I was coming out, and
two squids were hanging out by the shore.

The water was clear and calm. The beach itself was clean and not crowded at all. By mid-afternoon, though some locals had arrived with
blankets and provisions. Wish we hadn't waited until our last day as I would have made a second visit.

We parked on the road near the fire station, walk down a path along the side of the cemetery and came to a rather natural beach. There was nobody else there and the reef itself was not that attractive. We were concerned about our belongings that we left on the beach, afraid that they might be pilfered while we were snorkelling. Later on, some shady looking characters showed up and we were afraid of being robbed in this isolated spot. It was actually a bit creepy to us and we left. We thought that taking a snorkelling boat trip to Stingray City was by far the better activity.

Before I went on my vacation, I had never been snorkeling before. I had a hard time at first, but I'm so glad I gave it another try. You HAVE to go to Cemetary Reef. We weren't sure how to find it and there aren't any signs. Just follow Seven Mile Beach north, and there's a cemetary on the left side of the road. You can't miss it. WOW! It was one of the most wonderful experiences of my life. The fish actually swim with you. A MUST DO on Grand Cayman!
