When planning a family vacation, many people think of attraction-heavy locales, like Orlando or Southern California. But the fact is that a tropical vacation in the Caribbean can be just as entertaining and create lasting memories for you and your children. While Grand Cayman doesn’t have theme parks or thrilling rides, it does offer pristine beaches, exotic wildlife, and a safe, family-friendly atmosphere. So, let’s break down how to have a blast with kids in tow.
Play on Seven Mile Beach
Most kids love playing in the sand on the beach, but as parents, you want to make sure they’ll be safe, especially if they’re going in the water. Fortunately, Seven Mile Beach on Grand Cayman has calm water and a clean, relatively crowd-free shoreline. So, not only can you find a private spot on the beach for your family, but everyone can enjoy the water freely, whether you’re wading, snorkeling, or swimming. And best of all, if you stay at South Bay Beach Club, the beach is literally steps from the resort.
Have Fun at Dart Family Park
While Grand Cayman has numerous parks across the island, Dart Family Park is notable for its convenient location to George Town, access to the water, and child friendly playground. This park is easy to incorporate into any itinerary, as you can spend an hour or half a day here easily.
Check Out Indoor Play Options
Although the weather on Grand Cayman is often sunny and hot, rain can come along and alter your plans. Fortunately, when that happens, you can take the fun indoors at places like Lil’ Monkeys Indoor Playground or Strike Zone House of Fun.
See Animals Up Close
One of the benefits of coming to Grand Cayman is that there is so much wildlife to experience during your visit. For sea creatures, check out the Cayman Turtle Center or Stingray City. For animals on land, go to the Queen Elizabeth II Botanic Park to see blue iguanas, or head to the Cayman Parrot Sanctuary to see magnificent birds.
