Because this is a duty-free island, there is some advantage however. Jewelery purchased here is a particularly good buy because of the ability to bargain and, it is duty free on the island. However, all purchases must still be claimed for custom purposes. Unless you have purchased many thousands of dollars of goods, probably no tax will be due. Leave a Comment

How many 7-mile beaches are there in the world? Well, one of them is here, but lazing on the beach all day with your eyes closed doesn't seem to me like a good use of time when you're traveling. I guess I'm just weird that way. But if a hotel-lined beach is your thing, 7-mile beach is the place.
We did find some more secluded beaches north of Georgetown, past the Turtle Farm. We followed the road along the shore as much as we could, and eventually ended up on a network of dirt roads. We saw an occasional fisherman or family picnic on the beach under the palms, but mostly it was empty. There were only a few yards of sand between the palms & the water, though.
Rum Point on the north side also has a decent beach with a restaurant/bar. Red Sail Sports has a location here to provide you with water-sport equipment and activities if you are willing to pay their prices.
My first wall dive was with Divers Down out of Georgetown. The dive master took us to the most drop-dead spectacular spot on the north wall that started off with an arch and we glided down and along the wall. Seeing that amazing purple color of REALLY DEEP water for the first time just floored me! And all of the sea life and sponges and everything was just beautiful! Leave a Comment

OUR FIRST DIVE WAS ON MIXING BOWL OR THE 3 FATHOM REEF, WE STAYED APPROXIMATELY 40 MINUTES AT APPROX. 80 FEET. THERE WERE 2 PET NASSAU GROUPER, (BEN AND JERRY). THEY LOVED BEING PETTED, ESPECIALLY BEING SCRATCHED UNDER THE CHIN. THERE WERE ALSO LOBSTER AND SWIM THROUGHS STARTING FROM HOLES IN THE VERTICAL WALL . VIDEOS WERE BEING SHOT BY THE STAFF VIDEOGRAPHER AND BY LEON DURING THIS DIVE. SOME PRETTY GOOD SHOTS WERE OBTAINED.. Leave a Comment

My best memory's of the Cayman Islands was spending New Year's eve for the new millenium there.
I also booked a Charter Boat to Singray City. This is where you snorkel with Stingrays and actually get to touch them. A truly magical experience. Leave a Comment

 Another Nice Beach by frqtflyr
beaches, the best-known is the ' Seven Mile Beach'
(actually a little over 5 miles), with its long stretch
of white powdery sand along West Bay.
The main drawbacks are that it's also the most popular and
most developed beach on the island. There are other, less
crowded areas along the northern coast of Grand Cayman,
west of North Sound; at the southwestern end of Cayman Brac;
and at Point of Sand at the eastern tip of Little Cayman. Leave a Comment

 Which Way To Go? by frqtflyr
Bursting with condos and bristling with satellite
dishes, the capital would resemble any North
American urban area were it not for its Caribbean
seaside setting. George Town's attractions include,
late-18th-century Fort George and the Cayman Islands
National Museum.
Otherwise, George Town functions mostly as a supply
center and shopping mall. Stretching north along West
Bay's 'Seven Mile Beach,' which, if you don't mind the
daisy chain of hotels, offers pristine white sand and
great diving Leave a Comment
