West Bay is one of Grand Cayman's most established residential districts, where Caymanians and expats enjoy the tree-lined streets and a gentler pace of life than that found in nearby Seven Mile Beach. This desirable area has a good mix of mansions, island style bungalows, vacant land and condos for rent or sale, with prices enjoying a boost thanks to a recent highway extension that has eased the frustration of a sometimes slow daily commute.
The West Bay district includes Governor's Harbour, a family friendly and classy waterfront development based around a collection of canals and parallel quays named after mostly British naval heroes. Its attraction is enhanced by close proximity to Seven Mile Beach and the increasingly popular 'new urbanist' Camana Bay, a mixed-use and master-planned waterfront community with shopping, dining, entertainment, landscaped outdoor spaces and the Cayman Islands' only cinema.
