West Bay Road, perhaps. Seawiew Rd on the South side of the island towards Eadt End, just before you get to the blow-holes. It is virtually opposite the site of the new hospital. Graeme Plank

"Abanks"' Diving Lodge. Ebanks is a common surname in Grand Cayman.
Done from memory so wrong angle. This is located in the south east corner of North Sound, a set intended to be a tourist attraction but I'm afraid vandalism put paid to that. SJ

Rachel Bolton-King found no benches to be seen so maybe a this one was a prop . . . which would explain why would it was facing away from the reflecting pool!

Self on the set before it fell apart. Right at the end of a deserted track, probably now built on, east of the airport. SJ
