Snorkel or Dive

There’s a whole new world to discover beneath the bright blue waters of the Caribbean, and no destination delivers more sites than the three Cayman Islands (including Little Cayman and Cayman Brac).

The islands that make up the Caymans are the tips of underwater mountains. Sites like East End’s Babylon, with its colorful rope sponges and black coral, the North Wall, which makes up the edge of the Cayman Trench that runs from Cuba to Central America, and West Bay’s Northwest Point Drop Off, one of the most colorful dive sites in the entire Caribbean, will take you on an adventure through reefs, shipwrecks and more.

Another great dive is the USS Kittiwake, a 251-foot-long former submarine support ship that was sunk in 2011 to serve as an artificial reef. You can explore the ship deck by deck or snorkel from above to see 50 species of coral and more than 500 species of fish.

You’ll find some of the best snorkeling in the Cayman Islands at Cheeseburger Reef, which features towering coral formations, Eden Rock, with its underwater caves and other natural wonders, and the Wreck of the Cali, a relatively shallow shipwreck of a four-masted schooner that sunk just outside George Town harbor in 1944.

Play a Round

Grand Cayman is not a golf destination, but a vacation destination with golf. It’s a luxurious atmosphere for practicing your swing and offers spectacular views and cool, refreshing trade winds.
Greg Norman designed the par-36, 3,516-yard Blue Tip course at The Ritz-Carlton Golf Club. The nine-hole course is well-manicured and surrounded by beautiful scenery. All ages and skill levels will also enjoy the gorgeous 18-hole championship North Sound course. The public course is easily accessible from anywhere on Seven Mile Beach. Look for the iguanas, birds and small lizards!

Get Some Air

If your kids need a place to burn off some energy, head to Black Pearl Skate Park, the largest skate park in the Western Hemisphere and the second largest in the world, just minutes from Seven Mile Beach. Opened by professional skateboarder Tony Hawk in 2007, it has 62,000 sq. ft. of quarter pipes, half pipes, rails, stairs, and bowls. It offers something for all skill levels and equipment is available to rent.

No matter what type of activities your family or friends like to do, you’ll find it in the Cayman Islands. Stop in at Jacques Scott Wines & Spirits for your favorite beverages, and then head out to explore beautiful Grand Cayman!
