While each Caribbean Island has its own charm and unique features, the Cayman Islands stand out for their well-developed infrastructure, incredible beaches, exceptional diving, iconic attractions, and thriving culinary scene. Easy to travel to and to get around once there. Cayman Islands is made up of three islands, Grand Cayman, Cayman Brac, and Little Cayman. Below are the top 7 things to do in the Grand Caymans!
Relax and unwind on the world-famous Seven Mile Beach. With its powdery white sand and crystal-clear waters, this beach is perfect for sunbathing, swimming, and water sports. Many resorts, restaurants, and water activity providers line the beach, offering convenience and entertainment.
Experience the unique opportunity to interact with and feed southern stingrays at Stingray City. Hold, touch, and feed the incredible animals. Boat tours take visitors to a shallow sandbar where these friendly creatures gather, creating and unforgettable and often photographed experience.
Popular dive sites include Kittiwake shipwreck and the vibrant coral gardens of Edne Rock. There are many places to snorkel and see incredible fish and other sea animals. Some of the most popular spots are the calm waters of Smith Cove and the coral formations of Cemetery Beach.
A picturesque beach on the north side of the island. Enjoy the laid back atmosphere, swim in calm waters, and savor delicious Caribbean cuisine at waterfront restaurants.
Participate in interactive experiences where you can learn about sea turtles at this conservation facility. You can even snorkel with turtles in a controlled environment.
Starfish Point is renowned for its abundance of starfish. The shallow sandy bottom provides an ideal habitat for these fascinating creatures. Great place to snorkel too. Remember to respect the marine life!
A stunning natural attraction located in the lush forest of the Northside of Grand Cayman. The caves are a natural wonder formed millions of years ago. The limestone caves feature intricate crystal structure, delicate formations, and unique geological features. The caves were discovered relatively recently in 2007. The caves are a short, easy walking tour and very cool to check out.
We spent about 5 days in the Grand Caymans celebrating the big 4-0 with friends. We would love to go back and check out everything else we didn’t have time to as well as exploring what the other islands have to offer. Many of the things on the list above can be done with an all day boat tour, we highly recommend!
Overall, the Grand Caymans is perfect choice to get away and get on island time. With so much to do, amazing food, and easy accessibility it makes it the perfect vacation destination!
