Very disappointing. My friend and I were looking for a store to pick up some average priced clothes. This is not the place. We found only four clothing stores and the shorts I liked in 1 place were $260 and the swimsuit was $250, so you get the idea. It’s beautiful, and there looks like there are some nice places to eat, but for the average tourist, a bit $$$$$

A mixed use real estate development that features lots of retail, restaurants, activities - movies, gyms, etc.- and also residential and business offices. Camana Bay is so well designed! The layout of the buildings creates pathways and courtyards so you find something new around almost every corner. There are design features in the lighting and finishes on the buildings which add to the over feel of playfulness, while still being sophisticated. There are areas where different treatments have been used to create coverings so some areas feel more like outside rooms.
It's worth going to stroll around, shop and then have lunch or dinner at one of the many restaurants. You'll find very different experiences depending on what time of day you go.

A lovely and accessible place to dine, shop, catch the ferry. Locals and tourists alike seem to enjoy the nicely laid out market area. It's peaceful for a stroll and there is a mix of high end and more affordable shopping. Same with the restaurants. One can take the walking overpass from Seven Mile Beach here with ease. There is a delightful mosaic "tower" that can be accessed via stairs or elevator and is designed so that one traverses from the "bottom" of the sea" to the ocean surface. And then you have the lovely view. Often live music at restaurants.

There wasn’t a lot to do, however the advertisements really pumped it up to be a really nice place to shop, eat and have fun. It wasn’t. Most of the shops that we went to were overpriced. And throwing some clothing designer merchandise into a small store doesn’t make it “the place to shop.” For example, one store was crammed with polo merchandise (of course, overpriced), but it wasn’t appealing. It’s very obvious that they are trying to sell Camana Bay as the place for the discerning and affluent shopper, but the vibe isn’t there. I did not see one person leave the area with a shopping bag and the stores were mainly empty. There was no way I was going to pay for overpriced merchandise based on location. There was a very nice movie theater and the beautiful water of course, makes for the perfect scenery. The actual island is pretty expensive and we definitely added to the beautiful island’s economy during our 8 day stay.

My girlfriend and I visited Camana Bay several times during our 10-day stay at the Comfort Suites Seven Mile Beach Hotel. It’s an easy walk from our hotel and our hotel also had a free shuttle service to Camana Bay.
Along with a cinema, there are plenty of shops and restaurants with outdoor seating in the area. A farmers and artisans market happens every Wednesdays on the Paseo in Camana Bay. Foster’s Supermarket in Camana Bay was quite convenient for our grocery shopping. The dock to catch the Cayman Ferries to Rum Point and Kaibo is also located at Camana Bay. One of the parking lots at Camana Bay is home to the only grove of African sausage trees on the Cayman Islands.
Be sure to go up the Observation Tower at Camana Bay for a view of the surrounding area. There is no admission charge and there is also an elevator if you don’t want to climb the stairs. Colourful murals adorn the walls of the stairway. Camana Bay was also a good place to go for my early morning runs. It was nice to run along the promenade with minimal traffic in the area.

We took the public bus one afternoon to visit Camana Bay, we weren't aware that almost everything would be closed on Sunday , my bad shouldv'e checked... But we ended up strolling for a bit and eating at Booklyn Pizza, then grabbing some gelato. It is a fun area t hang out and grab a bite, some pie restaurants around, a little play area for little kids and some stores.

We made several trips to Camana Bay while staying at the Marriott Grand Cayman Beach Resort. There are a lot of restaurants and stores (bookstore, Starbucks, clothing, home decor, jewelry store) at Camana Bay. It gets busy at night and reservations are needed for dinner at some of the restaurants. The restaurants have outdoor seating which is nice in the evenings. We saw a lot of families here at Camana Bay. Gelato & Co. was our favorite at Camana Bay.

There is not a large number of shops to visit here like a traditional mall but worth spending a couple of hours here anyway. You don't get the trashy souvineer shops or endless jewellery shops. There are some lovely sitting areas in the shade with a nice outlook into the marina. There are also some interesting fountains. There is a couple of good clothing shops, some nice homeware stores, lots of cafes and restaurants.

This place was alright. It’s a pretty big outdoor shopping area but it doesn’t have much stores and it closes pretty early. There’s a movie theater and a few restaurants. There’s an observatory deck with a nice view to the sea

Always a great place to visit when in Grand Cayman. Great selection of restaurants, lots of shopping, and a great grocery store. Camana Bay is well tended to, clean and quiet anytime day or evening.

I have read about public buses going up and down seven mile beach. I am wondering if these buses go up to camana bay and Georgetown? Is anyone aware of the fare? US or CI?
Written July 17, 2018
Yes, you can take a small bus that takes you all the way passing camana bay and leave you in george town.
You can pay in US or CI both works great for them bot remember the USD is lower than the CYD.
The cost is around 2 USD.
I found this information on the web that may can help.
Cheers
