Grand Cayman is a beautiful Caribbean island which is known as a tax havan and also for its tropical beauty. Its the largest of the three islands in the Cayman Islands, a rich territory of the United Kingdom George Town. Grand Cayman is a very popular hot spot and here is a guide to making the most out of your stay:
Places to Eat - The Cayman islander's are very into their food and you'll find an abundance of restaurants, bars and cafes. Seafood features a lot in the restaurants and you can be ensured it's very fresh! The Cracked Conch restaurant is very popular because of the incredible views over the ocean.
Shopping- The main shopping town is Georgetown (the capital) here you will lots of shops including art and craft stores. The craft market is also worth a visit. Its open every day and here you can buy lots of typical Cayman gifts and trinkets.
The Tortuga Rum Company located in Georgetown sells most of the islands rum, coffee and delicious rum cakes, and this should be your first port of call. You should also take advantage of the islands duty-free status in one of the numerous jewellery shops (including Cartier). Also try visiting the farmers market where you can pick up jars of local chutneys, spices and sauces to bring a Caymanian flair to your own home cooked meals.
Places to See - The Pedro St.James Castle is one of the oldest buildings on the island and is well worth seeing especially if you're interested in history. Another popular attraction is the Turtle Farm which is a facility to raise the green sea turtle to release them back into the wild as their natural numbers are diminishing.
Also while here, make sure you take a trip to Hell! Hell is the name affectionately given to the area around the West side of the island where millions of years of erosion have left the landscape with a barren and blackened look. However, in true juxtaposition it's also one of the most beautiful sites you will see on Grand Cayman.
Grand Cayman is also known for it's famous and paradise like beaches. There are plenty to choose from but make sure you visit the best, the seven mile beach, at least once. You won't regret it!
If you want to see a lot of marine wildlife or just take advantage of the amazing blue waters then Grand Cayman offers a variety of activities including diving, snorkelling, boating or water skiing. Try Rum Head (a former smugglers cove) for great bars, places to eat and lots of places to start your adventures.
