Wind down on Grand Cayman's beautiful white sandy beaches, but tear
yourself away to discover what lies beyond them. Swim with stingrays in protected waters
off Grand Cayman, then get a taste of colonial life at Pedro St James and
among the back streets of the laid-back capital, George Town.
Background
High-rise hotels line Seven Mile Beach on the west coast of Grand Cayman, but
there's still a British flavour to low-key capital George Town,
which lies at its southern end. Here you'll find shopping malls filled with
duty free bargains and the grand harbour is surrounded by traditional buildings.
First-time visit
Book a place on a boat trip to go snorkelling at Stingray City, a stretch of
sandy seabed in Grand Cayman's North Sound where southern stingrays gather.
Chill out on Grand Cayman's Seven Mile Beach with a good book and a
rum punch. See green sea turtles raised from hatchlings at Boatswain's Beach
adventure park in Grand Cayman's West Bay. Then go to Hell, the
nearby village, to send a postcard home.
Return visit
Book a place on a boat trip to dive around the coral reefs which surround Grand
Cayman. Find out more about local art and culture at the National Gallery of the
Cayman Islands, in George Town. Go to Bodden Town to get a taste of
what life was like in the 18th century at the restored Pedro St James great
house set in lush Caribbean gardens. Find out more about tropical blooms at the
Queen Elizabeth II Botanic Park in the East End of Grand Cayman. Then
swing from a hammock at Rum Point on the Northside, reputed to be where the
slushy mud slide cocktail was born.
