Tourism Minister Kenneth Bryan recently admitted government “dropped the ball” on Seven Mile Beach renourishment.
Was it dropped after the 2018 hurricane? Or was it 2019, or was it 2020, or was it 2021, or was it 2022, or was it 2023, or was it 2024?
I own timeshares and visit annually. From observation, banking and tourism are Grand Cayman’s top employment opportunities. Failing to renourish the beach disproportionately harms Caymanians.
I have never seen such government incompetence.

I have to agree the ball was dropped on the beach erosion problem several years back. We owned a timeshare on 7 Mile for 30 years and enjoyed our time there immensely. In those thirty years the beach area went from large and beautiful to nonexistent. Mostly due to poor and too much construction along the beach. And not just the beach, it also is evident by the coral bleaching and loss. Being avid divers through the years was a jaw dropper in the decline of the beautiful underwater world over those 30 years. I have to believe the sea and the beach to be of the utmost urgency for repair and protection! If you are going to have cruise tourism you better have the infrastructure to adequately handle it with the least impact on the fragile environment. We have such wonderful memories of the island and its people! We wish you the best!
