    Very cool little place to see a bit of history! This is close to where a bunch of ships have wrecked on the reef a long time ago. They have a huge brass propeller, the lead keel from and old ship and a nice monument. They have a small little parking lot. There are a couple rough places so I would not recommend a wheel chair.

    They have done a great job with the memorial park area. Quite lovely. There is a small parking lot next to a little information center. You walk along a well maintained path with some great foliage. There are a few short paths to explore nestled amongst native flora. You arrive at the monument/marker that overlooks a cliff into the sea. Off to your right is a nice viewpoint waiting for someone to sit and soak up the area. If you want shade, off to your left, you will see a nice gazebo surrounded by lovely plants with a fantastic sea view. Sit here, enjoy the spot and relax. Great place to reflect.

    Definitely worth the stop. Grand Cayman has a rich history and this site honors it beautifully! The pathways are easy to navigate and bathroom was clean.

    Wreck of the Ten Sails is actually quite beautiful. Many reviews seemed to po po it, but the views and the history are well worth a 15 minute or more pitstop on an East End tour of Grand Cayman. There is a small parking lot that can accommodate probably 6 or 7 cars. If you have a wheelchair the parking spot is on an elevated hard surface so it is easy to roll right onto the nice boardwalks that zigzag out to the costline. The bordwalk has several benches both covered and uncovered along the walk to stop and have a seat and enjoy the sea breeze. The few signs and plaques posted really tell all the history you need and do not take too long to read. Great selfies can be captured here. There is some sort of gift shop, but it was closed when we stopped by. Don't really know what you would want to buy other than maybe a water. This is a stop you can't appreciate from the road.

    Great location for sunrise! A learning experience about some of the events that have happened in East End. A short little walk with gazebo to enjoy a break and a snack as well as full bathroom facilities.

    Nice view, pleasant park. There must be some historical value here but even guides aren't sure. There were shipwrecks, for sure, mainly because of navigation problems.

    Great veiw and historical place. restroom available and wheelchair access. Nice concrete walk path

  • 4/5 Sara H. 1 year ago on Google β€’ 206 reviews
    A nice stop with beautiful views, but make it part of your drive-and-stop tour of the East End. It takes a few minutes to walk out, then a few minutes to take in the different views, mauve a few minutes to enjoy the powerfully sessions breezes, take a few pictures, and 12-15 minutes later you're back in your car. Worth it, though.

    Must see site of historical ship wrecks

  • 5/5 Francoise A. 5 months ago on Google β€’ 91 reviews
    Very small area but beautiful scenery and views. Small parking available. You can see the ship wreck but it’s off into the distance.

  • 5/5 Andy C. 8 months ago on Google β€’ 85 reviews
    Great, interesting place to visit. Decent sized carpark and spotlessly clean washroom facilities. Just a short walk to view where the 10 wrecks were situated. Stunning views with a viewing deck and undercover picnic area. Situated on the southeastern edge of the island Just off Austin Conolly drive.

  • 5/5 Jim 11 months ago on Google β€’ 75 reviews
    For the distance the ability to still have the opportunity to see the wreck site was awesome. Time has taken most of the vessels away but it was awesome to be able to see a portion of what was left.

  • 4/5 Jil A. 11 months ago on Google β€’ 60 reviews
    Interesting historical monument. I now want to read more about this event. It's a quick stop so why not?

    Worth a stop. Short visit

  • 5/5 Shanique N. 10 months ago on Google β€’ 55 reviews
    Breathtaking view

  • 5/5 Kirstine C. 9 months ago on Google β€’ 39 reviews
    Very interesting place showing the location of the most notorious shipwrecks that have taken place here

  • 4/5 Sean A. 2 years ago on Google β€’ 24 reviews
    A nice quick sight seeing spot on the East End. There's a display board telling the story of how 10 ships crashed on the reef in the 1960's. There are opportunities for pics of the reef and ocean but 15 minutes there is more than enough.

  • 2/5 D T. 4 months ago on Google β€’ 13 reviews
    There is information about the wreckage, some parts from other vessels that have also crashed there in the 1960's but there isn't much else; Cayman is a quiet place. However, people here have said you can't see anything, you can. Not very well, it is 1-1.5 miles out at sea but you can easily zoom in with your phone. It's a fair drive there for 10-15 minutes of exploring but there is a cafe nearby, Vivine's Kitchen.

    They could've done more with the place for leisure
