What to Do on Grand Cayman When it Rains

Although Grand Cayman is known as a sunny, tropical paradise, the fact is that it can get pretty wet on the island, especially during the rainy season. However, since prices for everything go down during this season, it can be a great way to experience the island while saving money and avoiding huge crowds. But that begs the question: what can you do on a tropical island when it’s raining? Fortunately, there are plenty of activities on Grand Cayman, so you won’t skip a beat. Here’s a  rundown of some top options.

Cayman Islands National Museum

What better way to escape the rain than by enriching yourself at the Cayman Islands National Museum? This spot is great for learning more about the island’s history and culture, and it can help strengthen your connection to both the land and its people. For a longer excursion, add the National Gallery of the Cayman Islands to incorporate some artistic flair to the occasion.

Camana Bay

If the weather gets you down, perk yourself back up with a round of shopping and entertainment at Camana Bay. Although this is an open-air mall, meaning you’ll need a rain jacket and umbrella to get between stores, Camana Bay is still fun when it’s wet outside. Plus, with a movie theater, you can always stay put for a couple of hours and wait for the clouds to dissipate.

Cayman Spirits Co.

The Caribbean is well-known for its rum production, and Grand Cayman is no different. While Cayman Spirits Company is a relatively recent addition to the island (since 2008), it makes some delicious rums that are perfect for sipping or mixing into your favorite cocktails.

Mad Tea Party at Anchor & Den

As part of the British Commonwealth, tea time is taken seriously on Grand Cayman. But while you could just partake in a standard tea experience, why not add some  whimsy to the occasion with the Mad Tea Party at Anchor & Den? As the name suggests, this adventure is inspired by Alice in Wonderland, and it’s made even more enjoyable knowing that the weather outside is frightful.

Stay In and Watch the Weather From South Bay Beach Club

One advantage of booking a condo-style room at South Bay Beach Club is that you don’t have to go out to have a great time. Instead, you can plan ahead and stock up on supplies to make your own meals and watch the rain come down from the comfort of your home away from home. Plus, since we’re facing the water, your views are always spectacular. Book your stay today.
