West Bay

Submitted by mhabich on

West Bay is Grand Cayman’s wild-at-heart coastal gem—where adventure meets island charm. One minute you’re snorkeling with sea turtles at Cemetery Beach, the next you’re sending a postcard from Hell (yes, really—it’s a jagged black limestone wonder). Feed your curiosity at the Cayman Turtle Centre, then feast on fresh seafood at a beachside tiki bar. Whether you’re horseback riding along Barkers Beach or diving the Kittiwake shipwreck, West Bay is where the island’s soul comes out to play.

North Side

North Side, Grand Cayman is where the island whispers instead of shouts. Think sleepy beaches, swaying hammocks, and the kind of sunsets that make you forget what day it is. Explore the magical Cayman Crystal Caves, kayak through glowing bioluminescent waters, or snorkel at Starfish Point, where the sea stars pose like underwater celebrities. With fewer crowds and more coconuts, North Side is your ticket to the laid-back, toes-in-the-sand kind of escape that feels like a secret worth keeping.

Little Cayman

Tiny but mighty, Little Cayman is the Caribbean’s best-kept secret. Picture this: ten miles of untouched paradise where iguanas outnumber people and the loudest sound is the rustle of palm fronds. Snorkel or dive the legendary Bloody Bay Wall, where the reef plunges into a kaleidoscope of marine life. Paddle over to Owen Island for your own castaway moment, or bike the island’s one road past sleepy beaches and the occasional red-footed booby. With no traffic lights, no stress, and no crowds, Little Cayman is where time slows down and nature takes center stage.

Sunshine, sea breezes, and stingrays—George Town, Grand Cayman is a tropical treat with a twist of charm. This capital city is where Caribbean cool meets cosmopolitan flair. Stroll past pastel buildings and high-end boutiques, then dive into crystal-clear waters just steps away. Snorkel with friendly rays at Stingray City, sip fresh coconut water at the farmers’ market, or explore the quirky Cayman Islands National Museum overlooking Hog Sty Bay. And when the sun dips low, Seven Mile Beach is just a short hop away for a sunset that’ll make your heart sigh.

East End

Tucked away on Grand Cayman’s quieter side, East End is where adventure sheds its training wheels. Windswept bluffs rise above a mosaic of turquoise coves, and narrow roads snake past sea grape trees and hidden blowholes. This is the Cayman Islands untamed—where scuba divers drop into dramatic wall dives, and waves crash against coral-strewn shores with untamed rhythm. It’s the kind of place where you trade flip-flops for fins and let curiosity chart your course.

Cayman Brac

Cayman Brac is the Caribbean’s best-kept secret—where limestone cliffs meet turquoise seas and parrots outnumber people. Just 12 miles long, this rugged little island is packed with adventure: hike “The Bluff” for jaw-dropping views, dive a sunken Soviet warship, or explore caves with names like Bat Cave and Rebecca’s Cave. Birdwatchers will swoon over the endemic Cayman Brac parrot, and beach lovers can unwind on secluded shores with nothing but the sound of waves and the occasional iguana rustle. It’s wild, it’s peaceful, and it’s wonderfully off the radar.

Bodden Town dares you to dig beneath the surface—literally. Once the capital of the Cayman Islands, this coastal gem is laced with pirate legends and hidden caves. Explore the eerie Pirates Caves, where whispers of buried treasure echo through coral tunnels.
