Cayman Islands insider information
- The Cayman Islands has some of the best diving in the world. Bloody Bay Marine Park, off the north shore of Little Cayman is a firm favourite among avid divers.
- The main beach on Grand Cayman is Seven Mile Beach which boasts miles of white sand. However, it can get very crowded as it’s the first stop for many of the cruise ships. Rum Point is another good option and is ideal for children. Its facilities include changing areas, volleyball nets, hammocks and a lively beach bar.
- Sports enthusiasts will have plenty to keep them busy. Backpacking, hiking, kayaking, golfing and bird watching are offered on the three islands. A good place to go trekking is Queen Elizabeth II Botanic Park on Grand Cayman.
- Hell on Grand Cayman is an area containing black lava formations, hence the name, and attracts many tourists curious to see Hell on earth. Although visitors have left quite disappointed, it does make for a good postcard to send home to friends.
- The Cayman Islands are synonymous with weddings and honeymoons. Guaranteed sunshine, white sand beaches and swaying palm trees make it the perfect romantic destination. If you’d rather skip a beach wedding, ceremonies in a small chapel or church are also possible. Just make sure the legal requirements are in place beforehand and a marriage license, proof of citizenship, proof of marital status and two witnesses are required.
