Welcome Message from the Governor of the Cayman Islands

As Governor of the Cayman Islands, it gives me immense pleasure to welcome you to this exceptional corner of the Caribbean. These three remarkable islands continue to captivate all who discover them, offering treasures that reveal themselves whether you visit for days or call them home for years.

Since my arrival as Governor in 2023, I have been continually amazed by the extraordinary diversity packed into our small but mighty islands. Each island possesses its own distinct character, yet all share the warm hospitality and natural splendour that define the Cayman experience.

Our Sister Islands may be modest in size, but their reputation spans the globe. Cayman Brac enchants visitors with its dramatic limestone bluff rising from crystal clear waters, whilst offering exceptional birdwatching opportunities, including sightings of the magnificent Red-Footed Booby, and mysterious caves waiting to be explored. The stories of the resilient ‘Cayman Brackers’ and their island life through the generations add rich layers of human history to this captivating landscape.

Little Cayman stands as a testament to pristine marine conservation, home to some of the world’s most untouched reefs and protected waters. The legendary ‘Blood Bay Wall’ provides diving experiences that are unparalleled, where vibrant corals and unique marine life create spectacles for us to observe and enjoy.

Grand Cayman blends world-class amenities with authentic local culture. Here, you can savour exceptional cuisine showcasing our finest local produce whilst experiencing the genuine warmth of our hospitality. From learning about our heritage at the historic Pedro St. James to finding tranquillity in our Botanical Park, or immersing yourself in contemporary creativity at the National Gallery, cultural riches abound. The world-famous Seven Mile Beach offers endless possibilities—from sunrise yoga to sunset cruises—whilst our underwater world provides equally magnificent adventures, including the unforgettable experience of night diving amongst the mysterious creatures that emerge from the ocean depths.

Whether you find yourself cycling through West Bay in the early morning light, visiting the blowholes in East End or searching for the elusive ‘green flash’ at sunset on Seven Mile, every corner of our islands holds the promise of discovery. These are truly special places that we are privileged to call home, and I encourage you to embrace every opportunity to explore their wonders.

Jane Owen Governor, The Cayman Islands

Cayman Islands The

GEOGRAPHY

HISTORY

The Cayman Islands are made up of three islands: Grand Cayman, which occupies 76 square miles and is approximately 22 miles long, Cayman Brac (15 square miles) and Little Cayman (10 square miles). The islands are the tops of pinnacles reaching up from the Cayman Trench – one of the deepest sections of ocean on Earth, with depths of around 25,000ft. The three islands are separate, uplifted fault blocks that were pushed up by friction between the North American and the Caribbean plates. The uppermost layer is composed of carbonates created by living organisms such as corals, algae and shells laid down during sea level changes over the past 30 million years.

Christopher Columbus first sighted the Cayman Islands in 1503 on his fourth voyage to the New World. Noting that the islands and the seas around them were teeming with turtles, he named them Las Tortugas.

This abundance of turtles soon led to ships sailing through the Caribbean to stop off in the Cayman Islands and stock up on turtle meat – a great source of protein for the crew.

Sadly, so many turtles were hunted that their population remains severely depleted.

CLIMATE The most pleasant weather is during the winter (November-March) when daytime temperatures average 72-80ºF and generally the skies are clear and the sea is calm. The occasional nor’wester blows through during the winter, bringing cool winds and rough seas on the north and west coasts. You may need a light jacket for cooler evenings in the winter.

The summer months (May-October) coincide with the rainy season. Average temperatures range from 80-88ºF, with July and August being the hottest and most humid months. Rain can be heavy and persistent, but is a welcome relief from the humidity. Sea temperatures average 85ºF in the summer and 78ºF in the winter.

Hurricane season runs from 1st June to 30th November. If you visit during hurricane season, please take all hurricane or tropical storm warnings seriously.

PIRATES Cayman remained uninhabited except for the turtles, alligators and lizards, until the 1660s.

The first people who attempted to settle on Little Cayman soon fled after being attacked by pirates. Pirates used the islands as a base from which to attack the galleons bound for Europe. During the 18th century, some of the most infamous pirates of the Caribbean, including Blackbeard, Lowther and Henry Morgan, roamed these seas, stopping off on the islands for repairs and to stock up on water and turtle meat. Cayman hosts an annual Pirates Week Festival, complete with a mock-pirate ‘invasion’ where oldtime pirate vessels loaded with peg-legged pirates ‘invade’ the shores of Cayman to the delight of the gathered crowds.

TIME ZONES The Cayman Islands are on Eastern Standard Time (or GMT –5) but daylight savings are not observed. From April-October, we are one hour behind Eastern Time.

MOSQUITOES

Stay Longer Services

Another factor in the slow development of the Cayman Islands was the vast number of mosquitoes that bred in the swamps. So severe was the problem that it was almost impossible to venture outside at night without smoke pots to ward off the bugs. Thanks to the outstanding work of the Mosquito Research and Control Unit (MRCU), nowadays you will probably only be aware of the odd mosquito around sunrise and sunset, though numbers do increase during the height of summer.

Seven Mile Beach

1670

West Bay

In February 1794, 10 merchant ships, led by HMS Convert, foundered on the reef at Gun Bay in the East End of Grand Cayman. Local settlers went out to rescue the crew and not one life was lost. Legend has it that one of those rescued was a royal prince, and in gratitude to the people of Cayman for their bravery and gallantry, King George III declared that the Cayman Islands should forever be free from taxation and war conscription. While there is no hard evidence to support this story, it is a popular way of explaining the continued tax free status of the islands. A more realistic explanation is probably the fact that up until the middle of the 20th century, most of the population was engaged in subsistence farming or fishing, or worked as merchant seamen on foreign ships. There was therefore little, if anything, to tax.

SHIPWRECKS & TAX

Cayman ’s

Best of Land

The Treaty of Madrid, signed in 1670, officially decreed the Cayman Islands a British possession and a dependency of Jamaica, although the islands were not permanently settled until the 1730s. The earliest settlers, who are thought to have been deserters from Oliver Cromwell’s army in Jamaica, survived on farming and trading turtle meat with passing ships. An 1802 census recorded the population of Grand Cayman at just 933, roughly half were of British descent, the other half being of African descent (enslaved until 1833).

TOURISM & FINANCE Things changed quite abruptly in the 1950s. 1953 saw the opening of Grand Cayman’s first airfield, first hospital and first commercial bank – Barclays Bank. A few hotels also opened in the early 1950s and then in 1957 dive pioneer Bob Soto opened a commercial dive centre on Grand Cayman. A few years later the Government enacted legislation designed to take advantage of the absence of taxation and encourage the growth of the banking industry. Suddenly, the Cayman Islands were on the map – both as a tourist and diving destination and also as an international financial centre. Over the past few decades, the changes in Cayman have been dramatic: the islands have transformed from a subsistence economy in the 1950s to enjoying the highest standard of living in the Caribbean today. The population has increased from 10,000 in 1970 to approximately 88,800 today, with people from over 140 different countries making the islands their home. In 1970, visitors numbered just 403; today the Islands host over 430,000 stay over visitors and under 1.1 million cruise ship passengers per year.

CAYMAN CULTURE If you would like to immerse yourself in Cayman culture, visit Pedro St. James, the Mission House, the National Museum or the Botanical Gardens where you will get a glimpse of a bygone era. Visit local restaurants and try some traditional cuisine like conch stew or fish rundown. Music and singing are another big part of Caymanian culture and local bands, such as the ‘Swanky Kitchen Band’, sing a variety of folk music with strong European and African influences.

Their lyrics have been passed down through the generations. Finally, visiting a local church for a Sunday service and then driving around the island to see local families gathered on their porches is another nice way to feel a part of the social fabric of Grand Cayman!

Caymanians are usually polite and respectful and will appreciate this being reciprocated.

It is customary to open any conversation with “Good Morning” or “Good Afternoon”. If you know the first name of the person you are talking to, it is polite to preface their name with Miss or Mr (Miss Annie, Mr Charles).

Expats and Caymanians usually dress in a smart casual fashion. Visitors are urged to be sensitive to the modesty of the local people and not to venture away from the beach in swimwear. Topless sunbathing and public nudity are forbidden.

MONEY & BANKING The official currency is the CI dollar (KYD). The exchange rate is fixed to the US dollar: CI$1 is US$1.25 or US$1 is CI$0.80. Banks do not offer a better exchange rate. US$ are accepted throughout the islands, although you will probably be given your change in CI$. Credit cards are widely accepted and always charged in US$. Banks are open 9am-4pm throughout the week and some are open on Saturday mornings. ATMs are located throughout the islands.

TIPS, TAXES & HAGGLING A government tourist tax of 13% will be added to your hotel bill unless you can prove you are a Cayman resident. Many resorts also add a 10%-15% service/gratuity fee. There is no sales tax. If gratuities are not already included, it is customary to tip 15% for good service.

Haggling for a discount is not practised, however some businesses may offer a special discount if you mention this Explore guide!

Little Cayman entices visitors with its accessible seclusion, undeveloped beauty and the healthy diversity of its marine environment. At just ten square miles, Little Cayman remains true to what a Caribbean island should be. The island was mostly uninhabited and rarely visited until the mid-19th century and to this day continues to have limited development. Around 75% of the shoreline is protected and maintained by the local Department of Environment, keeping the island’s natural beauty unspoiled. This tiny island is the true gem of the Cayman Islands.

Cayman is fast becoming known as the premier shopping destination in all the Caribbean. Famed for its tax-free shopping status, it attracts thousands of shoppers each year looking to take advantage of cheaper retail prices than can be found in the US or Europe. Duty-free jewellery and leather goods are often considerably cheaper. Visitors will find a wealth of high-end goods such as watches, precious metals and stones, antiques and more, all from world-class brands.

TOP TIP: Cayman’s main shopping area, George Town, can get very busy with cruise ship passengers, so head there after 3pm or on Saturdays when it is much quieter.

Cayman offers an abundance of high quality, locally produced items that make unique gifts and souvenirs.

From original paintings, ceramics and underwater photographs to jams, Caymanite, hot sauces and rum cakes, there is something for everyone. In addition to the beautiful items found on these pages, you’ll also find locally produced goods at supermarkets, the National Gallery, the National Museum, Camana Bay’s Farmers & Artisans Market and the Craft Market on George Town’s waterfront.

From the top of West Bay to the far reaches of East End, Grand Cayman is rich with mouthwatering cuisine and tasty tipples heralding from every corner of the globe. Though our foodie scene is culturally diverse, the island continues to honour its foodie roots, celebrating local favourites with visitors and residents. Here, we’ve listed just some of Cayman’s culinary must-dos. For the best island restaurant guide, pick up a copy of Cayman Good Taste magazine. For reviews, full menus, exclusive promotions and online reservations, visit www.caymangoodtaste.com or download the award-winning Cayman Good Taste app.

BRUNCH: A CAYMAN INSTITUTION Though it is now a global favourite, brunch is a longstanding institution in the Cayman Islands. Waking up on a Sunday morning never felt so good knowing you’re heading into an afternoon of dim sum spreads, sumptuous cuts of meat, exotic vegetarian platters and lashings of bubbles in between.

Some of the hottest brunch spots include Anchor & Den at the Marriott Resort (SEE PAGE 84) , where you can indulge in boulangerie favourites as well as sushi bites, charcuterie and divine desserts. Or there’s LUCA (SEE PAGE 96) which promises an incredible spread of gourmet food, first-rate service and an unbeatable view over Seven Mile Beach. Both of these brunches are very popular so make sure to book in advance.

Out East, there are a number of options. For a casual brunch vibe, head to Tukka East (SEE PAGE 143) where carving stations and unbeatable BBQs feature every weekend, with fresh local seafood and an authentic Australian flair and Caribbean twist. It’s hard to beat an all-you-can-eat feast with family and friends by the Caribbean Sea.

Local food & Flavours of the cayman islands

Cayman-Style Beef Slow-cooked for hours, this very tender meat is usually accompanied by rice and beans and steamed vegetables.

It’s deliciously rich and comforting.

Oxtail Stew Oxtail braised in a broth with herbs and spices. It usually includes fava or butter beans and comes as a warming, thick stew.

Wahoo With a flavour often compared to that of albacore, the wahoo’s moderate to high fat flesh is fine, white (with a little red) and slightly sweet.

If you want to try your hand at Cayman-style cooking, you can get all of these ingredients and more from Kirk Market (SEE PAGE 7 & 39) and Foster’s. (SEE PAGE 15)

Heavy Cake Made from cassava or yam, spices and coconut milk, Heavy Cake is a very dense, slightly sweet and spicy cake, almost the consistency of bread pudding. Also known as cassava cake.

Turtle Stew Turtling was a long-time Cayman tradition, and though you will struggle to find turtle on many mainstream menus, head to more local joints if you’d like to try this rare dish.

Fish Fry You’ll find Fish Fry spots dotted across Grand Cayman and many are located right on the shore. This dish consists of fried fish in lime juice served with onions and peppers with rice. A plate that celebrates Cayman’s maritime history.

Rundown A slow-cooked stew made with fish, breadkind (any starchy vegetable), coconut milk, flour dumplings, onions and peppers, all cooked slowly until the flavours meld. Some Caymanians consider this a new word for what they traditionally call Fish Stew or Fish Dinner.

Dolphin (Mahi Mahi) Dolphin is the local name for mahi mahi. Not an actual dolphin.

To avoid any misunderstanding, the Hawaiian name, mahi mahi, is more widespread. Mahi mahi is best prepared simply, as in grilling or broiling.

Plantain A very large, firm variety of banana.

It has a mild flavour and is used very much as a potato would be in the United States. Often used as a side dish in the Caribbean, it is usually fried or baked. Not to be eaten raw!

Conch Stew, Conch Fritters, Conch Everything! Conch (pronounced ‘conk’) appears on many menus in Cayman. Whether fried as fritters, stewed in rundown or cured in ceviche, all are delicious. Cracked Conch and Macabuca are both fine choices! (SEE PAGE 72)

Spending time on the beautiful water that surrounds Cayman is the high point of any trip, and for good reason. The calm, crystal clear waters and the cool breeze make for perfect boating conditions. The majority of boat trips tour the North Sound, a 35-square mile area of water protected by the reef, which guarantees calm waters and great snorkelling opportunities. It is also home to the world famous Stingray City and Sandbar.

When it comes to deciding what type of boat trip you’d like to go on, there are several factors to consider, such as whether to opt for a private or group tour, whether to spend a full or half day on the water and where to stop for lunch.

A private charter gives you the flexibility to set your own itinerary: timings, destinations and, most importantly, where to eat lunch!

You may even get access to boat toys such as tubes, water skis and wakeboards. Best

of all, you get to enjoy the whole experience with just your friends and family.

On a group tour, you will follow a set itinerary but the cost will be much lower. Boats are wellequipped and comfortable and you might even make a few new friends on your trip!

Most charters, whether private or otherwise, will provide a free pick-up/drop-off service in the Seven Mile Beach area, snorkelling gear and complimentary water, ice and snacks.

POPULAR ITINERARIES Stingray City See the opposite page for details on Cayman’s number one attraction!

Starfish Point A beautiful beach where you will find plenty of starfish. The sea here is warm, shallow and perfect for kids. Do not lift the starfish out the water – it will kill them.

Snorkelling Stop A stop along the reef to locations like Fisherman’s Reef or Coral Gardens, should not be missed. The visibility is incredible and you will see an abundance of fish and healthy coral, and you might spot the resident moray eel at the Coral Gardens.

Reef Fishing Experience the thrill of catching reef fish. Most charters practise catch and release so the next excited fisherman can enjoy the fun too. See page 46 for more.

Lunch by Boat Enjoy a delicious picnic with Cayman Islands Sailing Charters (SEE PAGE 50) . Alternatively, refuel at Kaibo or Rum Point, both of which offer laid back beach bar vibes.

You can also try waterfront restaurants Bàcaro, Calypso Grill, Morgan’s or Tukka West. All are accessible by boat. For casual waterfront dining try George Town Yacht Club or head to Camana Bay – dock space and waterside seating make it the perfect stop.

SEVEN MILE BEACH - Insider TipS Book a private charter with Paradise Pontoons (SEE PAGE 53) and discover exciting snorkel spots like the USS Kittiwake and the coral reefs which are dotted all along this famous stretch of water. They also offer a relaxing evening cruise along Seven Mile Beach, with complimentary bubbles served aboard.

Try a sunset sail with Red Sail Sports who pick up right off the beach and take you for a sail from 5.30pm-7.30pm Monday-Saturday for CI$60 per person.

Intro

Southern Stingrays are large creatures with a wingspan that can reach two metres across, however, males are noticeably smaller than females. Their wings are soft and silky and feel like wet velvet as they brush past you. Stingrays are incredibly gentle animals, and their instinct is to flee from danger. The poisonous sting in their tail is only used for defensive purposes, mainly against sharks, which are their only predators in the open water outside the reef.

Insider Tip

Stay Longer

Stingray City can get quite busy, especially when there are a lot of cruise ships in Grand Cayman. You will find it is quietest after 3pm and on the weekends.

North & East

Safety note: Please respect the animals and note that lifting the stingrays out of the water is seriously discouraged. Wearing fins is prohibited and when in the water you should practise the ‘Stingray Shuffle’ to avoid stepping on any sleeping rays.

George Town

Please turn to page 47 for tour operators.

When you reach Stingray City your crew will explain how to interact with the rays and put you at ease. You may touch the rays and you will even get a chance to feed them their favourite dish: squid. After the rays get a whiff of the squid and swim towards you it can feel intimidating, but as they vacuum it off your hand (remember to keep your thumb tucked in!) you’ll fall in love with these amazing animals and will not want to leave the water! You may even be tempted to give your favourite stingray a kiss – if you do, you will be rewarded with seven years of good luck!

Camana Bay

Stingray City & the Sandbar These are, in fact, two separate sites.

Stingray City lies in 12ft of water and so it is ideal for snorkellers and divers. Indeed, it is often billed as the best 12ft dive in the world. Stingray City Sandbar is where the majority of visitors are taken to. Here, the water is just 2ft to 4ft deep, so even nonswimmers can safely stand in the shallow water surrounded by stingrays. The Sandbar is suitable for all ages and offers incredible photo opportunities.

INTERACTING WITH STINGRAYS

Seven Mile Beach

History In the past, local fishermen would anchor their boats in the calm shallow water inside the reef while they gutted their catch and threw scraps overboard. Over time, Southern Stingrays came to realise there were free daily meals in certain spots of the North Sound and so they returned day after day. Today, dozens of rays continue to visit the two sites, although nowadays it is mostly divemasters and boat captains who feed them squid.

West Bay

The world famous Stingray City is an absolute must-do for any visitor to Cayman and is often described as the experience of a lifetime. Stingray City is home to approximately 106 Southern Stingrays. These wild, gentle and graceful creatures roam free and even the most seasoned traveller will be enchanted by this incredible experience.

FISHING

BIOLUMINESCENCE

Fishing is a year round sport in the Cayman Islands, with the choice of reef, deep sea and shore fishing. The supply of fish is plentiful, but novices and experienced fishermen alike will return to shore happy with the experience even if they don’t catch anything!

Cayman is lucky to be one of a handful of places worldwide where you can experience the magical phenomenon of bioluminescence.

There is such a high concentration of light emitting organisms in Bio Bay that when the water is disturbed it glows brightly. Cayman Kayaks (SEE PAGE 48 & 141) , Cayman Islands Sailing Charters (SEE PAGE 50) , Ray Dayz Charters (SEE PAGE 54) and White Sand Water Sports (SEE PAGE 55) offer evening tours a few days a month when the sky is darkest so you can witness this wonderful light show!

Reef Fishing Grand Cayman is surrounded by a reef which is home to an abundance of tropical fish. Reef fishing is a great activity for the whole family as even the youngest fishers are almost guaranteed success. Expect to reel in yellowtail, snapper, blue runner, bar jack and barracuda. When in season, you can also fish for conch and lobster.

Deep Sea Fishing Deep sea fishing in Cayman offers the thrill of the drop-off just a quarter of a mile from shore, plunging to depths of 800m. Beyond, lies the Cayman Trench, descending to 20,000ft, where the waters teem with substantially sized gamefish like wahoo, tuna, mahi mahi, barracuda and blue marlin. The heaviest catch ever in Cayman waters weighed a whopping 610lbs—a blue marlin! Wahoo season spans November to March, while tuna is abundant from March to June. Marlin and mahi mahi can be found year-round. Remember to practice catchand-release for juvenile gamefish. Fishing excursions typically depart around 7am, with some tour operators offering lunch onboard the boat.

Shore Fishing Anyone is allowed to fish from the shore but the practice of catch and release is encouraged and mandated in some places, including South Sound.

Fishing Trips and Charters For private fishing charters contact Cayman Islands Sailing Charters (SEE PAGE 50) who offer private deep sea fishing charters that utilise a variety of different fishing techniques.

protecting cayman’s coral Most sun cream contains oxybenzone, an ingredient that is proving toxic to coral reefs around the world. Recent studies have shown that the sun cream we lather on ourselves remains in the ocean long after we are gone.

This is causing numerous problems to an already fragile ecosystem and it has recently been declared the third biggest threat to coral reefs worldwide. Oxybenzone has been found to be mutating the DNA of coral, having a similar effect on DNA as gasoline would. It harms the coral’s immune system and reproductive system, often making it completely sterile. This infertility, paired with the fact that oxybenzone causes the outer skin of coral to turn to bone, has made scientists label heavily affected areas “zombie reefs”. These alarming discoveries have prompted researchers to lobby to ban oxybenzone sun cream altogether, but until that happens, there are more reef-friendly options: 1) look for sun cream that contains non-nanonized titanium oxide or zinc oxide; 2) avoid sun cream with oxybenzone; and 3) avoid spray sun cream. Reef-friendly sun cream can be bought at Kirk Market (SEE PAGE 7 & 39) , Le Visage in Camana Bay (SEE PAGE 108) and Waterman (SEE PAGE 92) .

Consider wearing a sun top/rash guard which provides sun protection even when you’re in the water. They can be bought at Funky Monkey (SEE PAGE 90) in Governors Square opposite the Governor’s House.

There is something magical about being on a boat, on the North Sound, at dawn and having the sandbar and stingrays to yourself. A few companies do sunset tours, but White Sand Watersports (SEE PAGE 55) and Ray Dayz (SEE PAGE 54) do dawn trips. You will love it!

TOP Tips For Sun Safety

North & East Stay Longer Services

www.ExploreCayman.com

George Town

1. Seek shade during the hottest part of the day: 11am-3pm.

2. Use an oxybenzone-free waterproof sun cream with an SPF of 30 or higher and reapply often.

Kirk Market (SEE PAGE 7 & 39) and Le Visage (SEE PAGE 108) sell a wide range of reef-friendly sun cream.

3. For maximum protection wear a UV sun top. These protect the skin all day, even when wet. Blue Wave/ Waterman (SEE PAGE 92) and Funky Monkey (SEE PAGE 90) have a good selection for adults and children.

4. Wear a hat and sunglasses to protect your head and eyes.

5. Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated, especially when playing outside or exerting yourself.

Camana Bay

• Sailing For something a bit different, try a Hobie Cat sail which is ideal for beginners.

The resorts along Seven Mile Beach offer rentals and lessons. Alternatively, book a daytime or evening sailing charter with Cayman Islands Sailing Charters (SEE PAGE 50) or Mainstay Sailing (SEE PAGE 51) .

• Snorkelling Tours Many private boat operators combine a snorkelling trip to Coral Gardens in the North Sound with a visit to the Stingray City Sandbar.

Alternatively, explore interesting snorkelling sites in the Eastern Districts with Ocean Frontiers (SEE PAGE 52) . You could even pack your snorkelling gear and find magical sites which are easily accessed without a guide.

Eden Rock and Devil’s Grotto in George Town both offer tunnels and overhangs to explore, or snorkel under the Morritt’s dock in East End which is teeming with sea life.

See the Best Snorkelling section on page 60 for locations.

• Surfing While not renowned as a surf destination, the waters off the Caribbean Club (SEE PAGE 88) on Seven Mile Beach are great for beginners. South Sound is better for advanced surfers, especially during the winter months if a nor’wester passes through. To rent a surfboard, call Waterman (SEE PAGE 92) .

• Swim with the Stingrays See page 45 for more details.

• Yacht and Motor Boat Charters You can enjoy Cayman’s waters on a luxury boat, either with just a skipper or as a full-service experience, including dinner. See the Boating section on page 44 for more information.

• Waterparks Starfish Cay at The Ritz-Carlton (345) 943 9000 and SPLASH at the Kimpton Seafire (345) 746 0000 are the perfect spots for children to cool off. Kids will love the shallow splash pools, gentle waterslides and fountains. Call to purchase a day pass.

• Windsurfing Step outside your comfort zone and learn how to windsurf with Kitesurf Cayman (SEE PAGE 92) . In just two hours you’ll have a good grip on how to do it!

Cayman boasts some of our blue planet’s best beaches. Miles of white powdery sand, crystal clear warm water, palm trees and a lovely tropical breeze come as standard.

Seven Mile Beach is Cayman’s most famous beach but there are plenty of other picturesque places to discover. Whether you want to lounge on the sand, snorkel, swim or relax with a drink in hand, these are our top picks:

A West Bay Public Beach A nice

beach with changing room facilities, very near Heritage Kitchen and close to the West Bay dock.

B Cemetery Beach (SMB) A great

beach for snorkelling, offering plenty of shade plus parking facilities. Located at the north end of Seven Mile Beach, in front of the cemetery. The reef is a seven minute swim from the shore and there is lots to see.

F Spotts Public Beach A small, often

deserted south-facing beach with cliffs at either end and a dock in the middle.

A great place to see turtles. There are no facilities. Beware of strong currents.

G Coe Wood Beach A sandy beach in Bodden Town with cabanas, a children’s play area and restroom facilities. There is a fish fry available at the Grape Tree Café. Walk west for good beachcombing.

C Public Beach (SMB) A popular and

wide beach. It has parking, a children’s play area, cabanas, volleyball courts, walking paths, a calisthenics park, restrooms and showers.

D Governor’s Beach (SMB) A popular sandy beach in front of the Governor’s house with some picnic tables, shade, a Mobi-mat for wheelchair access, and parking.

beaches can be found in East End. One favourite spot is Barefoot Beach (the Wyndham Reef Resort is about 2.3 miles away). Expect these beaches to be strewn with washed-up seagrass and quite a bit of flotsam. They aren’t always the tidiest of beaches but they are great for snorkelling. There is a lovely sandy beach at the Morritt’s Resort with a bar in the middle of the dock and a virtual aquarium of unafraid fish below.

1 Stingray City and Sandbar

See the Stingray City section on page 45 for more information.

2 Turtle Reef (West Bay)

Primarily a shore dive with a mini wall; snorkellers can follow the edge of the wall, admiring the bright reef fish and soft corals. Access to the water is easy from Macabuca (SEE PAGE 72) . Look out for sea turtles.

3 Lighthouse Point (West Bay)

Just a short swim from shore, snorkellers can enjoy the mini wall and Lighthouse Point’s thriving reef. You’ll also see the Guardian of the Reef statue.

4 SMB Snorkelling Sites

Cemetery Beach Swim out to sea for 5-10 minutes to find the most vibrant part of the reef. A top snorkelling spot on SMB. Governor’s Beach A white buoy marks a coral reef where you’ll find lots of friendly fish and maybe even some small rays.

Less than 50 yards from shore, the wreck of a 220ft schooner lies in 20-30ft of water.

To snorkel or dive the Cali you now need permission from the CI Port Security.

From Eden Rock (SEE PAGE 63) or Don Foster’s (SEE PAGE 62) , swim out and explore tunnels and overhangs, where large tarpon and grouper hang out. In the early summer

months the caves fill up with millions of tiny silversides.

8 Smith Barcadere (South Sound)

Swim straight out from the beach and meander through lots of coral heads scattered all over a shallow sandy sea bottom. Then, explore the shoreline where the ironshore creates interesting rock formations with lots of little gullies and inlets.

9 Spotts Beach (Prospect)

A great site to spot turtles as they feed on the sea grass. Beware of strong currents.

10 East End

Ocean Frontiers (SEE PAGE 52) offers a number of snorkel tours around various sites in East End. Their crew will take you to the best spots.

11 Morritt’s Dock (East End)

Underneath the Morritt’s dock, a plethora of curious fish congregate. They seem unafraid and quite happy for you to swim with them. Do not swim out to the reef at this spot though, as the currents are very strong and there is a lot of boat traffic.

12 Cayman Kai Public Beach (NS)

A good drift snorkel, the east to west current will push you along towards Rum Point. Expect depths of 3-10ft and lots of fish and soft corals. Only suitable for advanced snorkellers and good swimmers.

13 Rum Point, Cayman Kai (NS)

The calm and shallow waters make this an ideal spot for beginners. There is a little reef to the right of the dock and many fish congregate under the dock.

Top Tip To buy or rent snorkel equipment, head to Eden Rock Diving Centre (SEE PAGE 63) or Don Fosters (SEE PAGE 62) in George Town.

Best of Water

If you are dive-curious, then Cayman is one of the best places to get certified. You’ll find 365 different dive sites to explore, including easily accessible wrecks, caves and shallow reefs, plus more challenging deep walls and even black water diving. Cayman’s warm, clear waters also provide outstanding visibility and a vast array of marine life. Once you are certified, you are free to join boat dives or navigate your own shore dives.

Two-tank boat dives are a great way to get out on the water and explore new dive sites.

NOVA is a captivating culinary destination perched on the oceanside of Grand Cayman. Its melding of Mediterranean and Japanese fusion cuisine, stunning oceanfront setting, and relaxed but polished ambience has all made it become a favourite spot for locals and visitors alike.

The restaurant is beautifully situated right on the water, offering sweeping views of the Caribbean Sea. Dining at NOVA often means a toes-in-thesand experience or having a shaded view of the ocean from the pool deck. The pool offers relaxed lounging and cool dips to unwind. Guests are welcome to arrive straight from the beach, making it a seamless stop between sun-soaked adventures and refined coastal dining. It’s a place that feels as comfortable for a spontaneous afternoon drink as it does for a special occasion.

NOVA’s menu is built around fusion: Mediterranean and Japanese elements balanced with local influences and produce. Some signature small plates include raw and grilled oysters, a selection of sushi, beef and parmesan gyoza dumplings and fresh salads. For larger or more substantial options, things like grilled branzino, spaghetti ai Frutti di Mare, and the NOVA burger are prominent favourites among diners.

The cocktail and drinks menus are equally creative, offering seaside inspired concoctions, mocktails, classic cocktails with twists, and inventive pairings to complement both lunchtime light dishes and richer dinners.

Ambience plays a key role in what makes NOVA stand out. Evenings are ideal: sunset views, gentle sea breezes, candlelight, and a backdrop

A visit to the Cayman Islands is not complete without a trip to the capital, George Town. It is home to many high-end jewellery and beauty stores offering duty-free shopping, as well as government buildings and historical landmarks. There is lots to do in George Town and, unlike many capitals, it is surrounded by crystal clear waters and stunning sunset views.

9 Things to do

 Discover Cayman's History at the National Museum. Nearing 200 years old, this remarkably sophisticated museum houses interactive displays that provide a very interesting introduction to Cayman's natural history and cultural heritage. Great for both adults and children. (SEE PAGE 123)  Shop and make the most of the islands' duty-free and tax-free prices. In George Town, you will find stores carrying high quality jewellery, cameras, artwork, souvenirs, gifts, clothes and collectables.

See later in this chapter for all the best shopping.  Take a Helicopter Tour with Cayman Islands Helicopters and view this beautiful island from the air. Choose from an island or Stingray City tour or, for a truly memorable evening, go on a sunset flight followed by a romantic meal. You can even fly to Little Cayman and Cayman Brac in one day! SEE PAGE 122  Take a Walking Tour of the capital and learn about Cayman’s cultural and maritime history. See page 116 for recommended family and guided walking tours.  Dive the azure waters that line George Town. Sunset Divers (SEE PAGE 120) can take you on boat dives to the Kittiwake and Stingray City. Don Foster's Dive Centre (SEE PAGE 62) offers guided day and night shore dives, and at Eden Rock Diving Center (SEE PAGE 63) , you can explore the caves and the

DOWNTOWN

Wreck of the Cali, a 220ft schooner.  An Underwater Tour with Nautilus (345) 945 1355 is a unique way to view the underwater world! The Nautilus is a semi-submarine, so it never fully submerges.  Snorkel the calm waters around the southern end of George Town and you'll come across two reefs: Eden Rock and Devil’s Grotto.

Another great spot is Cheeseburger Reef, located about 100-200 yards off of the waterfront at Burger King.  Feed the Tarpon every night at Casanova Ristorante at 7pm or at The Wharf at 7pm and 9pm. It’s also worth stopping by the Fish Market on North Church Street, next to Cayman Cabana, during the day to watch the fishermen cleaning their daily catch.  Enjoy the Sunset and a sundowner at stunning rooftop bar Byū, located at One | GT, or other popular spots lining George Town’s harbour. The westerly setting provides clear views of the sky each evening as the sun sets.

PIRATES WEEK In the latter half of the year, Cayman comes alive for Pirates Week, the country’s largest celebration. The best of the festivities take place in George Town, with street dances, a float parade, fireworks and more!

EXPLORE 2026 • Explore more with the new Explore Cayman app

If you have more time to spend in Cayman's capital, venture outside the centre and discover even more activities.

Downtown George Town is where you will find many high-end jewellery shops, as well as interesting and unique stores selling great gifts. You can pick up all the groceries you'll need at Kirk Market (SEE PAGE 7 & 39) .

George Town is quietest on non-cruise ship days, and many downtown shops are closed on Sundays.

Walking TOUR (2.5 hours)

Start at the National Museum A great introduction to Cayman’s natural history and heritage. There are interactive displays, a movie theatre, a children’s gallery and gift shop. (Allow 40–60 mins) SEE PAGE 123 Local Art Keeping the waterfront on your right, walk to the Guy Harvey Gallery & Shoppe to see some local art.

On your way, make sure to stop at the Stingray fountain at Bayshore Mall for a great photo. At Guy Harvey's gallery, you can browse the beautiful art, and shop for souvenirs. (10-15 mins) Heroes Square Now with the waterfront on your left, walk past the Museum and turn right into Cardinall Avenue, then left into Albert Panton Street. 100 yards on the right you will see a long colourful mural depicting Cayman’s history.

Continue another 50 yards past the law courts and you can explore Heroes Square and the Wall of Honour, which lists the names of 500 Caymanians who have contributed to the development of the Cayman Islands. You'll also see the clock tower which was built in 1937 in memory of King George V. (15–20 mins) Fort George Now turn left into Fort Street and walk towards the waterfront.

At the end you will find the 18th century fort that once stood overlooking the harbour. It's believed to date back to around 1790. You'll also see a replica of a cannon that was used to defend Grand Cayman from attacks by Spanish marauders and pirates. (10–15 mins) Craft Market Continue walking with the waterfront to your left and you'll spot the Craft Market on the right-hand side of the road. Here you'll find locally produced goods, crafts and collector's items. Stalls are open on days when cruise ships are in port. (15–30 mins) Fish Market Continue walking in the same direction to where the fishermen sell their daily catch on the water. (10 mins)

Elmslie Church Named after Reverend James Elmslie, this church was built in the 1920s by naval architect Captain Rayal Bodden. The roof is designed like a ship's hull turned upside down.

Open to visitors 10.30am-2pm on days that cruise ships are in.

8 Parliament Building Where the Government meets. When Parliament is in session, members of the public can watch from the gallery on the 2nd floor.

MARITIME HERITAGE TRAILS This 12 stop tour celebrates Cayman’s rich maritime heritage. It's usually a driving tour, with stops marked by roadside signs, but you can walk to two of the sites in George Town. For more information on the tour, pick up a booklet from the National Museum. SEE PAGE 123 11 A busy port with anchorage for local vessels, visiting merchant navy and cruise ships. Archaeological finds suggest that the shoreline dates back to the mid-1700s. In 1773 British Navy Surveyor, George Gauld, wrote "This, in good weather is a very convenient place for wooding and watering and getting stock and other refreshment."

12 Look very carefully for a slipway carved into the ironshore where the Arch family’s shipyard launched their vessels.

Local wood was used in construction, including mahogany, cedar and pop nut. You will find a number of other slipways if you follow the ironshore south towards Dart Park.

Cayman Crystal Caves is situated in the lush tropical forest of beautiful North Side. Book a guided tour and get ready to embark upon an underground adventure into a fascinating world. You’ll experience some of the best nature Cayman has to offer and walk through a series of unique cave formations.

Opening hours: Open seven days a week, with the exception of Good Friday and Christmas Day. Guided tours (90 minutes) take place eight times a day and run from 9am-4pm

All visitors will be escorted by a knowledgeable tour guide who will help guests discover the beauty of “Cayman Down Under” and share stories and facts about the geological significance of Cayman’s oldest landmark.

Admission: All tours need to be pre-booked before arrival and the cancellation policy requires 48 hours’ notice for cancellation without penalty

The Cayman Crystal Caves were formed over millions of years, and at one point, they even existed under the sea. Within the caves, visitors can spy spectacular stalactite and stalagmite crystal structures and otherworldly formations formed by nothing more than single drops of water and the slow passage of time.

Visit the website to book online Payment method: Cash, Visa, MC, Discover and AMEX Things to note: All participants must be able to climb stairs unassisted for this tour

Outside, guests will also have the opportunity to tour the unique tropical forest under which the caves were formed. This includes a variety of captivating tropical plants and animal life, including magnificent strangler balsam trees, air plants and parrots. Don’t forget to keep an eye out for bats inside the caves, too!

Intro Best of Land Best of Water West Bay Services

As time went by, sea levels around the Cayman Islands changed and the erosion from these events helped carve out a series of interior rooms within the rocks. A beautiful cave system developed.

However, in the last half-century, farming around the area came to a close, and the caves sat mostly forgotten until the early 1990s, when proper search and exploration began. It took almost two decades to officially open the caves, and now, many years later, locals and tourists have the opportunity to experience this incredible part of Cayman’s history.

Stay Longer

History Over the course of millions of years, the Cayman Crystal Caves were created by nature.

Fossilised shells and animal life found within reveal that they first originated under the sea.

When the island eventually became home to permanent settlements, locals used the lush forest around the caves as farmland.

The community mined the caves for the rich fertiliser which was produced by the bat guano.

North & East

The maximum group size for each tour is 15 people, and all participants must be able to walk up stairs unaided. All tours require prebooking before arrival.

Hundreds of years ago, these caves provided hideouts for pirates and shelter for sailors looking for respite from the elements and tropical hurricanes. Legend has it that pirate treasure may still exist today, buried deep within the caves!

George Town

At the end of the tour, visitors can enjoy the scenery from the vantage point of the viewing deck, snapping photos and taking in the surrounding nature before it is time to say goodbye. There is also a restaurant and gift store here if guests are looking for souvenirs or refreshments.

Camana Bay

Visitors will start their tour with a 45-minute guided walk through the caves. There are three separate caves to explore in the area, including the open-ceiling cave, the roots cave, and finally, the lake cave.

Within these caves, spectacular stalagmite and stalactite crystals began to form. Rain water dripping through the limestone ceiling left calcium deposits, and as the rain travelled from the surface, it also passed through the surrounding plants, earth and organic matter. This made the rain water turn acidic, and it dissolved parts of the limestone, dripping through the cave ceilings. Over time, these single drops have formed incredible otherworldly crystal structures–a natural phenomenon that is still happening today!

Known by locals as ‘Pedro Castle’, this historic Great House stands as the oldest surviving stone structure in the Cayman Islands, rich in cultural and historical significance. Built in 1780 by Englishman William Eden using slave labour, it has played many roles over the centuries, including a cotton plantation, courthouse, jail, and Government Assembly. It’s famously where Cayman’s first elected parliament convened in 1831 and where the abolition of slavery was declared in 1835. Despite enduring hurricanes, fires and legends of hauntings, the beautifully restored Pedro Castle remains a proud symbol of Cayman’s heritage.

USEFUL WEBSITES www.caymanresident.com www.worc.ky

The Cayman Islands enjoys access to an extremely high level of healthcare, however, it is not a free service and every resident (including children) of the Cayman Islands is required, by law, to have a health insurance policy in place. For those who are on work permits, their employer is required, at the very minimum, to provide an entry-level healthcare plan, and most professional service employers will pay 50% of a more comprehensive plan. Those not on work permits are required to purchase a health insurance policy, which can cost thousands a month, especially if you would like good coverage and you have children.

For more information on health insurance, visit www.caymanresident.com/health. Also, see pages 152-157 for more on healthcare.

Work Permits By securing a job in the Cayman Islands you can be granted a work permit for anything between three months to five years. During that time, you may live in the Cayman Islands and come and go as you please as long as you stay employed. Your work permit can be renewed until you reach a total of nine years of residency, after which you must apply for ‘Permanent Residency’.

BUYING PROPERTY

Visitors Most visitors will get 30 days as a maximum. However, if you would like to spend more time here, like many of our winter ‘snow birds’ do, then you will have to show the immigration officer your return ticket, your hotel/condo reservation (or lease) and proof that you can support yourself for six months without needing to seek work. With this documentation, you should be given up to six months. If you own a property in Cayman, and can prove this, then you will automatically get six months.

To stay longer than six months, you will need to look into one of the options below.

The first step is figuring out how long you can legally stay in the Cayman Islands. Here are some of your immigration options:

Cayman Real Estate

The Cayman Islands has a mature yet thriving real estate market. Properties are well constructed and there is a wide variety available, including condos, apartments, townhouses and standalone houses. It’s worth noting that the prices of properties have risen significantly in recent years.

OVERVIEW OF RESIDENTIAL AREAS

146

Seven Mile Beach (SMB): Properties along SMB usually demand a premium price.

Depending on the size, age and location of the property, the price can vary hugely.

You can purchase a 610sq ft Grand Hyatt beachfront studio suite for US$900,000 or, on the other end of the spectrum, the almost completed Watermark offers condo prices ranging from US$11 to US$38.5 million.

Canal Front Properties: Prestigious canal front neighbourhoods along the Seven Mile Beach corridor, such as Vista Del Mar, Salt Creek, Canal Point and Crystal Harbour, have some of the island’s finest homes. For those on the hunt for luxury at the next level down, consider looking in Governor’s Harbour, the Shores and Patrick’s Island, with prices starting at around US$1.1 million and reaching in excess of US$6 million.

South Sound: The affluent seaside community of South Sound has a good mix of homes on the market, including the new multi-purpose destination Harbour Walk, and modern developments such as Privé, Bahia, Arvia and Indigo Bay. Units in these developments range anywhere from CI$800k to CI$2 million depending on size and view type. You can also find beachfront mansions, able to withstand the scrutiny of the most discerning luxury property buyers.

North Side & Cayman Kai: A wide selection of condos, luxury villas and

delightful Cayman-style beach cottages are for sale in North Side. A 3-bedroom beachfront home in Rum Point can go for around US$3 million, while an 8-bed beachfront mansion would set you back around US$15 million.

New oceanfront complex, Long Pointe View, is more affordable with 2-bed units at CI$670k.

East End: The district of East End offers a quiet and more laid back feel, yet some properties are as well-appointed as those found along the Seven Mile Beach corridor. 2-bed Silver Reef Residences are available with pricing from CI$795,000. Beach Groves will be built in the vicinity of a wildlife sanctuary and prices based on availability start at US$1.6 million.

Sister Islands: The Brac’s Bluff has stunning views of the Caribbean Sea and is perfect for those who want a sea view with the added height protection from a potential storm surge. Little Cayman, the smallest of the three islands, is characterised by crystal blue waters and some of the world’s best diving. For a beautiful and sizeable beachfront home on either island, expect to pay around CI$700,000.

RENTING A HOME Most new arrivals to the Cayman Islands begin by renting a property. This gives you

Financing There is a level playing field for prospective homeowners and investors. Banks welcome overseas clients and many offer mortgage packages. Interest rates are quoted based on the CI and US dollar prime rates published in Cayman’s retail banks. Many banks require a life insurance policy for mortgages. Standard mortgage terms are usually between 10 and 15 years and can be taken out in either CI or US dollars.

Seven Mile Beach

Investment Landscape The local property market remains resilient, especially the luxury sector, despite a year of recalibration after pandemic-era highs of around US$1 billion in annual sales. High inflation, living costs, interest rates and property insurance have deterred buyers somewhat, but activity continues. In the first half of 2025 there were 426 transactions totalling CI$547.5 million, with 1,815 active listings valued at CI$3.72 billion. Compared to the previous year, transactions rose 5% and total value 3%, meaning buyers who successfully navigated high interest rates in 2024 were rewarded with a return on their investment. The market’s stability shows that even amid economic pressures, Cayman real estate offers opportunities for savvy investors.

Choose an Agent There are many real estate companies based in the Cayman Islands and an ample roster of professionals on hand to assist you with your search. As a visitor to the islands, we strongly recommend that you select an experienced real estate professional to guide you. You can find some popular real estate agencies on the following pages.

West Bay

Buying a property in Cayman has many advantages, not least that if you are staying for some time, a mortgage tends to work out cheaper than rent over a three to fiveyear period. There is no annual property tax and there are also no restrictions on foreign ownership of a single property. With no requirements for immediate development on purchased land, building is another great option for those desiring a second home.

Best of Water

BUYING A HOME

Stamp Duty & Other Charges A one-off 7.5% stamp duty is payable on all real estate, land purchases and transfers.

This duty is paid by the buyer of the property on the purchase price or market value – whichever one is higher. There are other charges, such as the one-off 1% duty on mortgages of CI$300,000 or less and 1.5% on mortgages of more than CI$300,000.

You should also budget for about 1% of the sale price to go on legal fees, depending on the complexity of the transaction.

Pharmacies in Grand Cayman are well stocked, open at very convenient hours and have informed, helpful pharmacists who not only dispense medications, but will review medicines and provide additional drug information. Several pharmacies have multiple branches.

Relative to mainland America, medications are costly, so it is recommended that you stock up on necessary medications before arriving, or have a health insurance policy that covers travel. Consider buying generic brand medications as they are substantially cheaper.

Safety & Security CONSIDERATIONS

WEATHER Regardless of your skin type, apply highfactor sunscreen and put SPF 50 sun tops on children. Ideally, you should avoid the midday sun altogether, particularly as it is easy to underestimate the power of the sun’s rays with a cool tropical breeze. If you get heatstroke, rehydrate with water or juices with electrolytes. Aloe vera gel is great for treating sunburn.

CRIME The crime threat in the Cayman Islands is generally considered low, although you should always take normal precautions.

Petty theft does occur occasionally, but Cayman is one of the safest places in the Caribbean. Visitors from America are warned to never carry ammunition or firearms in their luggage when travelling to Cayman as it is illegal and you will face prosecution and a hefty fine if caught.

ROADS KEEP LEFT when driving! (When on foot and crossing a road look RIGHT!) As in Great Britain and its other territories, vehicles in the Cayman Islands drive on the left-hand side of the road. Drink-driving laws are strictly enforced. Seatbelt laws are also enforced and require all passengers to buckle up. Children’s seats are strongly recommended. Only use hands-free mobile devices when driving. Understanding the rules of a roundabout is also essential.

FOOD & WATER Water from the tap and locally grown produce are all considered very safe to consume. The majority of accommodation is connected to ‘city water’, which is safe to drink, but a few places still have ‘cistern’ or ‘well’ water. In these situations check with the owner if it is safe to drink.

DIVING Be aware of the ‘bends’. Cayman does have a decompression chamber, but don’t plan to use it! Ear complications can result from diving with a cold or sinus infection, and may require a doctor’s attention. Lionfish are venomous so avoid them.

West Bay

SEA Jellyfish stings and sea itch are not uncommon and not fun, so be careful snorkelling and diving. Sea itch is caused by the invisible larvae of thimble jellyfish which usually appears from late March to June. You can use Safe Sea cream to prevent any issues from both. If stung, a splash of vinegar is soothing and for serious cases, get an anti-histamine from a pharmacy or a steroid shot from the doctor.

Best of Water

MOSQUITOES Mosquitoes are typically very active at sunrise and sunset, so keep a bottle of mosquito repellent close by. If bitten, use an antiinflammatory cream. Cayman does not have malaria, zika or chikungunya but there have been a few imported cases of dengue over the last few years.

EMERGENCIES

Best of Land

LAND There are no dangerous animals in Cayman and we are rabies-free. Grass snakes are rare and harmless. The odd spider and scorpion are nothing to fear, but if you are bitten/ stung get an anti-histamine from a pharmacy or, for serious cases, get a steroid shot from a doctor. There are some plant species, like Maiden Plum and Lady Hair, that can irritate skin and should be avoided.

Useful contacts

Intro

MEDICAL No vaccinations are required for international travel to the Cayman Islands. However, ensure you have adequate travel and medical insurance as Cayman does not operate a national ‘free’ health service. Serious medical cases will normally be transferred to Miami via air ambulance, which can be costly.
