When it comes to tropical vacations, nothing really compares to the Cayman Islands. As one of the more luxurious island chains in the Caribbean, the Caymans offer pristine elegance at
relatively affordable prices. The largest of these islands, Grand Cayman, is the top choice for many travelers, thanks in part to its abundance of activities and amenities. If you’re looking to travel to Grand Cayman, the number one question is: what is there to do? Here’s a quick rundown of our top picks.
Beaches
What’s the point of visiting a tropical island paradise without spending at least a day (or a week) on the beach? The white sands of Grand Cayman are practically impossible to ignore, so you might find yourself wandering to the beach at every chance you get. Seven-Mile Beach is the most famous on the island, but there are many unique options, especially if you have a rental car. You can escape the crowds in the city and explore some of the smaller beaches on the North Side and East End, such as Colliers Beach, Cayman Kai Beach, or Heritage Beach. Or, why not visit them all?
Cayman Crystal Caves
Grand Cayman is full of natural wonders and beauty, but nowhere are these elements more dazzlingly on display than at the Cayman Crystal Caves. Situated on the island's northern edge, these caves will leave a lasting impression, thanks to their stunning, one-of-a-kind displays. A guided tour is the best option for exploring the area, so you can learn more about the caves and the environment of Grand Cayman as a whole.
Historical Sites
The Cayman Islands have been welcoming visitors for centuries, including pirates, natives, explorers, and British colonists. If you’re a history buff, you’ll enjoy the numerous historical sites dotted throughout the island. Some examples include Fort George Ruins, the 1919 Peace Memorial, Prospect Fort, and Pedro Saint James Plantation. You can also learn more about our island’s history at the Cayman Islands National Museum.
Shopping and Dining
While gorgeous beaches and exotic beauty abound on Grand Cayman, the island is also full of modern amenities and stores. One of the best places for shopping and eating is Camana Bay, which has everything you could need or want during your vacation. Whether you’re trying to buy souvenirs or want handcrafted items, you can find all kinds of hidden gems throughout the district.
