From Camana Bay you can now take a ferry to the other side of the island to Rum Point and Kaibo, I STRONGLY recommend both and while you are there make sure to have a mudslide while you are at each.
Below is the ferry schedule- make sure to pre-purchase tickets
There is a path near Cayman Reef Resort that you can access Camana Bay directly. As you exit our resort, go left to the cross walk and once you cross the road you can follow the path right into Camana Bay only needing to cross the two roads (one at the start and one at the end of the path)
