Lighthouse Restaurant - East End, Grand Cayman This spot features left-breaking waves over a coral reef bottom, characterized by sharp rocks. The waves are of ordinary power and are best surfed during high tide, particularly on a rising tide. Access is straightforward; drive towards the East End and Bodden Town, where the Lighthouse Restaurant is located on a small point above a 5-meter cliff. Surfers can easily climb down the cliff for instant access to the water. The area remains uncrowded throughout the week and on weekends, making it an ideal spot for those seeking solitude. However, caution is advised due to the presence of urchins in the water. Optimal conditions occur with winds from the north or northwest and swells from the south, southeast, or east.
