For many travelers, a trip to the Cayman Islands is the perfect way to relax and escape the hustle and bustle of modern life. However, just because the islands are enticing for individuals and couples doesn’t mean they’re not family-friendly. In fact, the Cayman Islands, specifically Grand Cayman, is ideal for kid-approved adventures. So, if you’re planning an epic vacation to the Cayman Islands with your little ones in tow, here are our top picks for kid-friendly activities to keep you and them engaged.
Play on the Beach
As a Caribbean island chain, the Cayman Islands are famous for having some of the best beaches in the world (especially 7-Mile Beach on Grand Cayman). If you bring some sand toys and gear along, your kids can have a blast all day long while you relax and listen to the waves.
See Local Wildlife
There’s nothing that excites kids (and adults) more than seeing exotic animals up close. If your little ones are too small to go snorkeling or diving out in the ocean, don’t worry. There are plenty of opportunities to see local wildlife, such as at the Queen Elizabeth II Botanic Park, which has a children’s garden. Here, you can see iguanas, parrots, and other animals as your kids play. Alternatively, the Cayman Turtle Center allows you to get up close with endangered sea turtles and learn more about how they live.
Visit the Crystal Caves
One of the most impressive natural wonders on Grand Cayman is the Crystal Cave system. Children love exploring the rock and crystal formations, and it’s a chance to escape the sun and cool off for a little while. Plus, the caves are close to the Botanic Park, so it’s easy to do both in a single day.
Play at Camana Bay
Camana Bay on Grand Cayman is one of the best shopping districts in the Caribbean, full of boutiques and stores to cater to every need. There’s also a fantastic playground in the center where your children can burn off some steam and cut loose while you’re sipping on a cool drink in the shade.
South Bay Beach Club is Family-Friendly
Planning family-friendly activities is one thing, but where are you and your family going to stay during your vacation? South Bay Beach Club is conveniently located at the southern end of 7- Mile Beach, meaning you and your little ones can walk out to the sand whenever you like. Book your stay now and help create lasting memories for your family.
