Turquoise water at cemetery
beach

by diver-x

Cemetery Beach is just a 5 minute drive north of 7-Mile Beach, in West Bay. It's very quiet and not crowded at all. The marked path to the beach is to the right of the cemetary. Please do not walk through the cemetery as this is a sign of disrespect. Park on the side of the road in front of the cemetery. There is also an omnibus stop right across the street.

One of the highlights of our trip was a trip underwater in the Atlantis Research Sub. Not cheap but really worth every moment gliding to depths of up to 800 feet between rocks and coral. The sub had plenty of porthole windows for the passengers to get a comfortable view.

	Come see the Stingray's Tip Rating:

Overhead Stingray City

by frqtflyr

For a enjoyable interactive up close and personal
approach with a 'RAY' at Stingray City. Stingrays
gather at this North Sound sandbar, where they know
they'll get fed by snorkelers with fish food, and there
are lots of operators who will take you out for the half
day trip.

Those same private operators will happily take you fishing.
Though no license is required for deep-sea fishing, regulations
require the angler to keep only that which can be consumed
(some restaurants will cook your catch for you). Tarpon and
bonefish are for sport only - all must be released.

Grand Cayman's East End is much less traveled than the Georgetown area. Take a late afternoon drive up the coast and end up north at Rum Point to catch the sunset. Pictured here is a blow-hole on the coral shelf on the East End.

A ride around the island will take you to some interesting spots. Here is a hole in the limestone that causes water to shoot into the air. It's on the east side of the island.

The Cayman Island turtle farm is an interesting place to spend an hour or two. There's nothing else like it and kids love it.

The Stingray Brewery is the Caymans' own microbrewery. Admittedly the beer isn't that great (haha!), but some of my favorite mementos were purchased at the brewery on Red Bay Road (east of Georgetown), which offers free samples of their product! Tours are given of the brewery as well.

The cemetaries on Cayman are beautiful and are located all over the island. They always seem to have fresh flowers...

Updated By american_tourister on August 25, 2002

Cayman Islands Page by american_tourister

The secluded beaches just off of the 'Queen Elizabeth' monument. There is a rock pedestal and a plaque commemorating Queen Elizabeth that the locals know of. Just the other side of the road is a small cut though vegetation that leads to a pristine beach with beautiful water and shade from palm trees. No one else around. Only truly secluded spot we found.

	Queen's Highway Tip Rating:

Beauty of the Shallow Reefs

by bluewilldo

Most people miss most of the Island in general. Usually people just stay on Seven Mile Beach or there abouts and don't go anywhere else. Well, just hop in a car and drive... there are only about two main roads so it's hard to get lost.
If you like Snorkeling go to Queens Highway... Just pull off to the side of the road, grab your fins and snorkle and hop in the water. You have to go pretty far out to see the good stuff (or, well, anything at all) but the reef out there is one of the best on the island. The only problem is it is very close to the surface at low tide, so becareful and take pictures!
