Grand Cayman lies in the western Caribbean Sea and is the largest of a group of three
islands collectively known as the Cayman Islands. Grand Cayman is still small by most
standards, measuring around 20 miles in length and approximately 8 miles across at its
widest point.
If you have never visited the islands before, this article outlines just a few of the
things you can do during your stay. Many visitors arrive on the island via cruise ship,
and stay only for a brief few hours, but, you will still find plenty of things to occupy
your time. However, this article is aimed more at the stay over visitor, who has a more
leisurely schedule.
Although famed for its beautiful beaches, and as a prime location for scuba diving and
sport fishing, the island has plenty to offer aside from these activities. Of course, if
you prefer to do nothing but lounge on the beach, there are few better places to do so
than on the beautiful shores of Grand Cayman.
Seven Mile Beach is
justifiably famous and offers a long crescent of white powdery sand and crystalline blue
waters, just what one would expect of a Caribbean beach. It is close to the Capital of
George Town and easily accessible for cruise ship visitors and offers most amenities you
would hope to find. Even at its busiest, Seven Mile Beach is rarely what you could call
crowded and there is plenty of room to find your own private spot to relax.
If you prefer a little more seclusion, there are plenty of out of the way spots where
you can enjoy a beach entirely to yourself, although finding them if you are not familiar
with the island might require the enlistment of a little local help. Taking your own
supplies will be required if you intend to visit one of these smaller slices of paradise
as very few are served by anthing more than the shade of a coconut palm or sea grape tree.
When you're ready to explore the island a little more, a car, although not essential,
will give you far greater flexibility and freedom. There are plenty of car rental
companies on the island, so finding an affordable set of wheels should not be difficult.
Alternatively, you can use the bus services, which although cheap are not always
convenient if you need to get to the more out of the way spots. Taxis are also available,
but can be costly if you intend to travel any distance.
For something different, you could always head to the North East end of the island,
where you will find the heavenly Cayman Kai and Rum Point. From here, you can take a kayak
tour from the Kaibo Yacht Club. All equipment is provided and you need no prior experience
to join one of these fun and educational outings. They offer sunset and full moon tours
too, where paricipants get to drink rum punch under the stars. Whether you choose a
daytime or nightime trip, you will see and learn plenty about the island and its marine
life and ecology.
Exploring the island's eastern districts is a must for anyone wanting to catch a
glimpse of the more traditional Cayman, away from the development and
"civilization" of the capital and its environs. You will encounter a slower pace
of life and various charming distractions along the route east. You can purchase what is
known as a "Discover The East Adventure Card", which offers free admission to
the Botanic Park, and the Pedro St James National Hostoric Site, as well as free gifts and
discounts at other local restaurants, tourist stops and businesses.
If you prefer to get an overall view of Grand Cayman, why not try a helicopter flight?
You can opt for a full island tour, a Seven Mile Beach Tour or a Stingray Tour. You can
even arrange a full package which includes collection and delivery from your location by
limousine which delivers passengers to the airport. From there, a sunset tour by air
followed by a romantic meal at one of Cayman's premier dining spots, after which diners
are whisked home again by limousine.
If flying is not your thing, how about going under instead? A ninety minute tour on the
semi submersible "Nautilus" is affordable and you will see some of the amazingly
beautiful marine life wiithout the need to get your feet wet. For those who prefer to get
up close and personal, there is a stop which allows for a half hour of snorkelling.
If you prefer to stay inside, you can watch divers feeding the fish right outside your
window at CheeseBurger Reef, one of the best spots to snorkel in Grand Cayman. Keep an eye
out too for sea turtles and southern stingrays as well as the large Tarpon that frequent
the area. You will also glide over two fascinating shipwrecks during the course of your
trip and an on board narration explains the history of these as well as all the other
things you will witness. It's a great trip for families or those taking out guests of all
ages.
These are just a handful of things that you will find to do on our beautiful tropical
island - there are plenty more. Cayman is a friendly and culturally diverse island; safe
and well appointed with accommodation and the infrastructure to ensure that there is
something for everyone whatever their budget.
You can find a selection of Cayman Islands videos and clips from some wonderful Cayman
Beaches compliled by the author to give you a better taste of the beauty of Grand Cayman.

Museums are educational, engaging and interesting for individuals of all
ages to explore. If you enjoy learning about the culture of new places,
there's a good chance you visit the local museums when you travel. In
addition to providing a wealth of information about the history of a
location, museums are great places to visit on rainy afternoons, or if
you're looking to stay out of the sun for a few hours. Caribbean travel
destinations are home to many great examples; if you're visiting the
islands, check out the Cayman auto museum, national museum or the Mission
House.
Cayman Islands National Museum
The
Cayman Islands National Museum is located at the corner of Harbour Drive and
Shedden Road in Grand Cayman, which is opposite of George Town's Harbour.
Open from 9am to 5pm Monday to Friday, and from 10am to 2pm on Saturday,
this establishment is also open on some holidays. The national museum opened
in 1990 and, following a hurricane in 2004, was opened once again in 2009.
This museum is dedicated to the heritage of the Cayman Islands, and boasts
over 7, 500 items, including historical documents, coins and specimens.
Visitors can explore natural history, cultural history and art collections,
as well as current exhibits. Upcoming National Museum exhibits include
"Migratory Birds of the Cayman Islands" and "Birdie," a children's special.
The museum also hosts regular events, such as speaker series, and guests
will enjoy the on-site gift shop and cafe.
Cayman Motor Museum
The
Cayman Motor Museum is located at 864 North West Point Road, in Grand
Cayman's West Bay. The only car museum in the islands, this unique
establishment is home to over 75 rare models of cars and motorbikes. Open
Monday through Saturday, from 9am to 5pm, the Cayman Motor Museum was opened
in 2010. With an admission fee of $15.00 for adults, and half of that for
children who are under the age of 12, visitors are able to experience the
automobile history of the islands for an economical price. The extensive
range of unique cars on display includes a replica of a 1905 Cadillac, which
was the first vehicle ever driven in Cayman, the original Batmobile, a
Batcycle replica, a Daimler DK400, the first limousine owned by the second
Queen Elizabeth, Elton John's 1963 Bentley and, last but not least, the
first vehicle ever made, an 1886 Benz. The Cayman Motor Museum can be rented
to host special events, and there is an on-site gift shop.
The
Mission House
Cayman's Mission House is a historical site that is often referred to as one
of the islands' museums. A two-storey house, this site was used by settlers
in the 1700s, who took advantage of the fowl for hunting, as well as the
available water sources. Several families are known to have owned the
Mission House, and, today, the way in which Cayman's past residents lived is
recreated in the home, including real historical artifacts that were owned
by past tenants. Located at 63 Gun Square, in Grand Cayman's Bodden Town,
the Mission House is also home to a Cayman Islands Natural Archive resource
room and National Museum display, and there is an on-site store.
The
Mission House, Cayman National Museum and Cayman Auto Museum are great
resources for learning about the culture and history of these beautiful
islands. Whether you're looking to explore artifacts from the 1700s, or
simply want a family-friendly, indoor activity on a rainy afternoon, the
museums of Cayman are a great choice. Make sure you pay a visit to these
establishments during your next Caribbean vacation.
Along the western shore of Grand Cayman rests a stretch of sand known throughout the
travel community as one of the world's best beaches. With placid waters and endless
amounts of pure white sand, Seven Mile Beach is what makes Grand Cayman special. Though
the beach comes up a mile and a half short of its name, there is certainly no shortage of
space to relax in the sun. Furthermore, as you walk along the beach you will notice
activities that range from cafes and bars beneath the palms to scuba diving and
snorkeling. When you visit Grand Cayman, you will immediately see why Seven Mile Beach is
at the top of so many lists.
Courtesy of the calm water and casual atmosphere, Seven Mile Beach is known as one of
the most family-friendly recreation sites in the Caribbean. The warm water has a sandy
bottom, making it a great place for children to swim. Families can rent all types of water
toys, from snorkeling equipment and paddle boats to jet skis and windsurfers for the
grownups. There are also a few spectacular scuba diving sites
off the shore of Seven Mile Beach. Where the gently sloping shoreline meets the coral wall
surrounding the island, you will find the popular reefs known as Paradise and Aquarium.
Seven Mile Beach is also the site of the island's best resorts and restaurants. Even if
you aren't staying on Seven Mile Beach, many of the resorts have facilities that are open
to the public. As many of the resorts open directly onto the beach, you will find several
bars and snack stands equipped with peaceful lounge seating. Throughout this area you will
find several world-class restaurants, serving everything from rustic Italian fare to fresh
seafood with a Caribbean twist. The resorts also make it easy to rent water sport
equipment without leaving the beach. Most importantly, all these activities (and, of
course, the beach itself) are open to the public, whether or not you are lucky enough to
spend your nights here.
At the southern end of Seven Mile Beach is one of Grand Cayman's favorite family
attractions - The Butterfly Farm. Inside the farm's tropical gardens, you can view the
life stages of butterflies amongst exotic flowers and peaceful ponds. Many early morning
visitors are granted the pleasure of seeing new butterflies emerge from their cocoons to
take their first flight. On guided tours of the facility, specialists will allow you to
handle both caterpillars and butterflies. As butterflies are attracted to bright colors
and perfumes, those who want some personal attention from the fluttering creatures should
dress to impress. Open daily at 9 AM, The Butterfly Farm also allows visitors to return
throughout their vacation with one paid entry. If you don't see a butterfly emerge from
its shell the first time around, you can stop by and snap more photos any time you like.
Most of Grand Cayman's other premier sightseeing opportunities are located within a few
miles of Seven Mile Beach. To the south of the beach is the island's capital city,
Georgetown. This historic capital features plenty of great boutiques, art galleries and
shopping areas set amongst a stunning array of colonial architecture. Georgetown also has
several great dining and nightlife options.
North of Seven Mile Beach, you will find popular attractions such as Hell and The Cayman Island Turtle Farm
in the small town of West Bay. Known for its devilish black coral formations, Hell is a
favorite of witty travelers hoping to send friends and family correspondence from the
underworld. On the other hand, The Cayman Island Turtle Farm is a great family destination
where children can interact with these endangered creatures. Besides its conservation
efforts, The Cayman Island Turtle Farm also calls to mind the colonial history of the
island. Upon arrival, Christopher Columbus named the islands "Las Tortugas" (The
Turtles) in honor of the multitude of sea turtles along the coast.
Whether you want to relax in the sand, find adventure in the water or experience world
class dining and attractions, a stroll down Seven Mile Beach will put you in the heart of
the action.

On the picturesque Caribbean island
of Grand Cayman, there is place known as Hell. Just a short drive from five-star resorts
and pristine beaches, rests an ominous field of brimstone with a fascinating geological
history. There are certainly several versions to the story of how Hell got its name. Yet,
most variations involve a local official seeing this strange limestone field for the first
time and saying, "This is what Hell must look like." Whatever you may think of
this unique version of Hell, the surrounding West Bay area of Grand Cayman offers some of
the best photo opportunities in the Caribbean, while Hell itself promises an unforgettable
sightseeing opportunity.
At this point, you are probably wondering what is so hellish about this little
Caribbean town. The story is interesting, but certainly nothing to fear.
Approximately 1.5 million years ago, the sea level was 15-20 higher than it is today.
As a result, Grand Cayman and many other Caribbean islands were largely flooded. When the
water receded, limestone-based coral formations were left behind. Scientists have
recognized a large formation of such ancient coral - known as ironshore - covering most of
the western half of Grand Cayman.
Ironshore is the central attraction of Hell. Yet, in Hell, the
limestone deposits have taken on an ominous shape. In an area about the size of half a
football field, you will see exposed black ironshore that has been uniquely weathered to
resemble the fires of the netherworld. Though the formations may look like the result of
volcanic activity, the limestone was in fact darkened by eroding algae after the sea
waters receded. As the limestone was simultaneously exposed to acidic algae and the
elements over many centuries, the field of Hell took on its devilish form.
Unfortunately, you won't be able to walk among the limestone formations. However, the
viewing platforms grant you a bird's eye view of the sharp, blackened ironshore. Beyond
the rocks of Hell, you will see mangrove trees and the beautiful Caribbean scenery you
expect of Grand Cayman.
There is also plenty of fun to be had with Hell's secondary attractions. At the town's
small gift shop, you will be greeted by the devil himself (or perhaps just a man in
costume) with such phrases as, "How the hell are you?" or "Where the hell
are you from?" After picking up some "postcards from hell," you can send
your friends and family a unique message courtesy of Hell's themed post office. Opened in
1962, the post office allows visitors the ability to postmark their Caribbean
correspondence from Satan's hometown.
Just south of Hell, you will find Seven Mile Beach, one of the
island's most famous beaches. Though the beach is only 5.5 miles long, it promises plenty
of pristine, powdery sand. Many of the island's most popular resorts are located along
this stretch, as well, yet the beach is rarely overcrowded. At the south end of the beach,
you will find more exposed ironshore - further evidence of the formations resting beneath
the island's surface. Though the limestone at Seven Mile Beach wasn't weathered as
dramatically as in Hell, it certainly gives you an idea of the island's - and the entire
Caribbean region's - unique geological makeup.
The trip to Hell is a short one (the town, that is). Mini buses run throughout the
island and Hell is a popular stop. It is even possible to walk to the site from many of
Grand Cayman's resorts - most being about 5-7 miles away. However you choose to get to
Hell, the journey will definitely offer scenic views of the island's West Bay region.
You probably won't need to spend much time in Hell either. Offering a unique brand of
fun, the town and its wicked rocks offer a simple, pleasant family activity. When planning
your tour around beautiful Grand Cayman, plan an afternoon stop at the place no one wants
to end up (but everyone seems to enjoy).

Grand Cayman has long been known as a small, charming
island and its capital city of Georgetown is no different. Where this picturesque,
walkable city is lacking in glitz and glamour, it answers with historic architecture,
one-of-a-kind sites and excellent shopping opportunities. Take a walk through Georgetown
and you will see why this city and the island of Grand Cayman are unlike any other
destinations in the Caribbean.
One of the first stops for most visitors in Georgetown is the Cayman Islands National
Museum. Housed in a colonial courts building constructed in 1833, the museum opened to the
public in 1990 with a collection of more than 2,000 artifacts. Oddly enough, much of the
initial collection was purchased from an intrepid local historian, Ira Thompson, who had
amassed one of the Caribbean's finest private collections over a period of 50 years. The
initial collection, much of which is still on display today, included a wealth of
historical documents, local flora and fauna samples, rare Caribbean coins and plenty of
local oddities.
Today, the Cayman Islands National Museum's exhibitions focus on the remarkable success
of Grand Cayman, Cayman Brac and Little Cayman. Together, these three islands measure just
over 100 square miles, nearly half of that land occupied by low-lying mangrove swamps. As
the Cayman Islands lacked the natural resources of other colonial Caribbean locations,
residents once relied entirely on fishing, turtling and the export of thatch rope.
However, throughout the late colonial period and well into the 20th century, Caymanians
came to be known as exemplary seamen. In fact, until the rise of Caribbean tourism in the
1970s, the income of such skilled sailors drove the islands' modest economy.
In addition to the fascinating story told within the museum, visitors should also take
time to enjoy the views of Hog Sty Bay. With Grand Cayman's most historic structure set
against the picturesque shoreline, the view has become one of the most celebrated and
photographed on the island. Before leaving the museum for other sites in Georgetown,
visitors can also enjoy the gift shop which features a fine selection of books, jewelry,
locally-produced arts and crafts and free walking maps of Georgetown. The Cayman Islands
National Museum is open Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM and Saturday, 10 AM to 4 PM.
Also near the Georgetown waterfront, visitors will spot the Elmslie Memorial United
Church. This peaceful church, named for the island's first Presbyterian missionary, has
long been at the center of Caymanian cultural and religious life. Known as a simple,
friendly society, Grand Cayman's values are reflected in the details of this beautiful,
but modest building. Featuring a stunning vaulted ceiling with wooden arches and an
austere, but majestic interior, Elmslie Memorial United Church has been revered as a place
of peaceful contemplation by locals and visitors alike.
While Grand Cayman's capital is known as quiet, historic city, shopping has become a
favorite activity for travelers. As Grand Cayman has no sales tax and many stores offer
duty-free merchandise, there are plenty of great values to be found throughout Georgetown.
Throughout the small, independent shops and larger shopping malls, visitors will find
everything from designer clothing and accessories to unique artwork and souvenirs. One of
the best places to find local products is the Cayman Craft Market located in central
Georgetown. Regardless of where you decide to shop in Georgetown or throughout Grand
Cayman, tax-free and duty-free shopping will lead you to plenty of incredible bargains.
If you want to experience live music, theatre or the bar and restaurant scene of
Georgetown, the Friday edition of the Caymanian Compass is the first place to start. This
local paper features listings for all of the island's upcoming entertainment and
highlights the best spots for any type of tourist to find dinner, drinks and fun. The
paper is distributed throughout Georgetown, but copies will also be available through the
concierge or front desk at most resorts.
Georgetown is one of the most unique cities in the Caribbean and there are plenty of
ways to explore its treasures. From the rich history of the Cayman Islands National Museum
to the deals found around every corner, Georgetown helps set Grand Cayman apart.

Everyone is familiar with the mythic city of Atlantis - the ancient Greek
civilization that Plato famously claimed had succumbed to tragedy and came
to rest at the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea. However, no one has ever
seen an underwater city - until now. Thousands of miles from the classical
civilizations in the warm waters of the Caribbean, a sculptor has been
quietly constructing his own vision of Atlantis off the coast of Cayman Brac.
Though the sculptor is only a few years into the massive project, the
undertaking has already attracted the attention of scuba divers and thrill
seekers from throughout the world.
The Cayman version of Atlantis is the brainchild of a somewhat mysterious
local artist known only as Foots. Now in his 50s, Foots has stated that he
has been obsessed with the myth of Atlantis since he was a small boy.
Working almost entirely by himself, Foots has already completed a number of
giant sculptures and laid the foundation for Atlantis. After completing the
sculptures, Foots places his work on a naturally sandy stretch of the
Caribbean's floor, always mindful of the delicate submarine ecosystem.
Though there is much for divers to enjoy in this Caribbean Atlantis, Foots
will continue working on this massive project indefinitely, adding new
sculptures to the underwater city every six months. Most surprisingly, Foots
has not made any drawings of his underwater project, choosing instead to
work only from his imagination, allowing the city's plans to develop and
change as the civilization grows.
The entrance to Cayman's Atlantis is marked by the giant Archway of
Atlantis. With each of the bases weighing over ten tons, scuba divers will
immediately find themselves in the midst of an awe-inspiring environment.
The great archway opens onto what Foots has called The Elders' Way. At the
end of this path lined with classical temple columns, the sculptor has
placed stylized sculptures of human figures - known to the sculptor as
"Prophets" - to watch over the underwater city. To insure that locals were
able to get involved in the project, Foots modeled each one of these
sculptures after individuals who have contributed to Cayman society. The
figures of the prophets look out across a large courtyard on the seafloor
known as the Inner Circle of Light. In Foots' version of the Atlantis myth,
a young girl made sure that the torches atop the city's eleven columns were
always lit and no shadows ever passed over the great sundial. Divers will
find the sundial in the middle of the courtyard, protected by the city's
great columns. At the center is a representation of the Circle of Light, the
space where all time was said to be endless.
One of most important aspects of the underwater city is the care given to
its location at the bottom of the Caribbean Sea. Though surrounded by dense
coral reefs on all sides, the site for Atlantis was chosen because no coral
needed to be removed to accommodate the sculptures. Furthermore, as the
sculptures are made of simple concrete and won't harm any of the area's sea
creatures, the city will always be able to support vibrant life. In fact,
though the Cayman Atlantis is currently set on several acres of featureless
sand, divers will notice that the city has already attracted a wide variety
of residents. Everywhere you look in the underwater city, hard corals have
begun branching out, sponges have found homes amongst the sculptures and
numerous species of tropical fish swim through the city each day.
Resting at a shallow depth (only 40-50 feet), divers are guaranteed
excellent visibility. Most of the Cayman Islands' dive operators visit this
special site everyday. Unlike many of the Cayman Islands' popular wall dive
sites, Atlantis is a great dive for all ages and skill levels. Thanks to the
shallow overall depth and excellent underwater visibility, the site can also
be enjoyed by snorkelers.
If you want to experience a dive site unlike any other in the world, be
sure to make the short trip to Grand Cayman's sister island, Cayman Brac.
Already the world's first underwater city and the largest collection of
underwater sculpture, the Caymans' "Lost City" will continue developing and
welcoming submarine life for years to come.

about vacationing in the Caribbean for the

If you have never been in a submarine gliding silently and effortlessly
along a coral wall teeming with marine life, you are in for a big treat.
The US Coast Guard approved Atlantis XI is a 65-foot long battery-powered
submersible specially designed for underwater sightseeing adventures in
tropical waters -- and where better than the Cayman Islands with some of the
clearest waters in the world.
The boat has a 48-passenger capacity, is air-conditioned, pressurized,
and is clean and comfortable. Light from 26 large side portholes and the
huge front captain's bubble dispels any feeling of darkness or closeness.
The view-ports also provide all guests with a wide window into the
fascinating undersea world.
How and where to sign up
We were in port on a Princess Cruise, and signed up for our submarine
tour at the Atlantis Adventure Center retail store located on the waterfront
in bustling George Town, Grand Cayman.
The Atlantis Adventure Center is just a two-minute walk from the docks
where the cruise ship tenders deposit passengers.
After you choose a tour and purchase your ticket, it may be a little wait
before your excursion is called. You can pick up a snack and beverage right
there in the store. In about 20 minutes, our tour was called and 30 of us
boarded a two-level tender that would take us out to the dive site.
On our way to the submarine rendezvous point just off shore, we were
given a thorough safety briefing about the Atlantis.
Before long, a light object appeared in the deep water just below our
boat. Within seconds, the Atlantis breached the surface shedding water
everywhere - just like in the movies.
Getting into the submarine
The change of submarine passengers was very orderly. First, the Atlantis
disembarked the last tour group to the first level of the waiting tender.
Our group was gathered on the second deck, and as soon as all the new
submariners were aboard, we were instructed to move down the steps of the
tender to the deck of the Atlantis. That accomplished, we entered the hatch
compartment, and did a backward ladder descent seven feet into the boat. It
was all very exciting.
Comfortably seated we waited for the hatch to close, and watched our
captain - who was in full view of the passengers at all times - submerge das
boot.
Down there with Davy Jones We leveled off at 105 feet and cruised along
to the tutoring of our convivial dive guide. He talked about how colors
dissipate as the boat goes deeper, and how the varieties of fish change with
the depth, and - wow, look at that wreck off the starboard bow! We learned
about barrel sponges, soft coral and hard coral, and thoroughly enjoyed the
easy to hear and understand narration.
Sadly, our underwater tour ended in about 45 minutes, the hatch opened,
and we were now the experienced submariners smiling at the next group of
neophytes about to take the plunge.
A less expensive alternative
Because we enjoyed the submarine experience, and had some extra time
before our shipped sailed, we also took the Seaworld Observatory tour.
Similar to the submarine, the inside of the Observatory has large portholes
for viewing the underwater world. The big difference is that the Observatory
never leaves the surface. Passengers sit in air-conditioned comfort, just
five feet below the waterline.
Note: The Atlantis submarine does not allow children under four years of
age, but they are permitted on the Observatory tour.
You might expect that this tour would not be as exciting as the
submarine, and it isn't, but at a greatly reduced price, it comes with
superb views of fascinating wrecks, and a knowledgeable narrator who talks
about the amazing sea life that passes before your eyes.
We give two thumbs up to both tours.
More about the Caymans
The three Cayman Islands are located south of Cuba and northwest of
Jamaica. They are generally flat as a pancake with little tropical
vegetation, yet they are prized among well-informed vacationers for their
miles and miles of pristine white sandy beaches, and the best turquoise-blue
and sea-green waters in the world.
Because of the unique water clarity, the Caymans are a SCUBA divers
paradise. Having spent many weeks on the islands during the now long-defunct
annual "Cayman Madness" event, we can attest to the extraordinary dive sites
and excellent dive-boat operators.
In addition, Grand Cayman is a safe island with a plethora of great ocean
front hotels and fine restaurants - and the people of the Caymans are
delightfully friendly and well educated. The Cayman Islands are clean, and
you can drink the tap water. What's not to like?
