Which bus to take
Grand Cayman's buses radiate from the depot on Edward Street in George Town. The ones serving Seven Mile Beach are the West Bay routes: WB1 (Seven Mile Beach / Turtle Centre), WB2 (SMB / Watercourse / Turtle Centre / Hell), and WB3 (Airport / Industrial / SMB / Mount Pleasant). All three travel up and down West Bay Road, so for getting between Seven Mile Beach and George Town, any of them works; the differences only matter further out toward West Bay.

How to catch one
Buses run frequently along West Bay Road during the day. You can wait at a marked stop or flag a bus down where it is safe to stop; raise your hand as it approaches. Tell the driver where you want to get off and pay CI$2.00 in cash, ideally close to exact change, as drivers may not carry change for large notes. There are no transfers, day passes, or concessions, so each ride is a separate fare. To return, board a West Bay bus from the George Town depot or any West Bay Road stop heading north.
