Things to Do in the Cayman Islands
The Cayman Islands are a collection of three islands that are British territories. The islands are named Grand Cayman, Cayman Brac, and Little Cayman.
These tropical islands thrive on tourism and there is plenty to do around the area. Here are some popular examples.
Eat the Food
What’s better than pigging out on vacation? One of the best ways to get to know a new culture is to get to know their food.
You can check out online reviews to find a nice, fancy place to treat yourself. However, don’t forget to try the local, traditional Cayman dishes as well.
As a British territory, Cayman food resembles Jamaican food. Cassava cake is a popular item that is 200 years old. Also known as heavy cake, it’s made from cassava, flour, eggs, coconut milk, cornstarch, vanilla, and cinnamon.
A Day on the Beach
You can’t go to the Cayman Islands without going to the beach. Of course, there are many beaches on each island, so it’s good to know which ones have the best views.
Most Cayman visitors compliment its Seven Mile Beach. Most magazines claim it’s one of the best beaches in the Caribbean. It’s long enough that you can get away from crowds if you need to, and lined with businesses so you have easy access to food, drinks, and entertainment.
Go Scuba Diving
There’s more to do at the beach than just swim or catch a tan. If you have the budget, a scuba diving course is worth it.
Under the sea is another world of activity. The Cayman Islands have ample coral ecosystems and some sunken ships for you to explore and experience. You can even spend time with stingrays to truly appreciate sea life.
Take a Hike
As a tropical region, the Cayman Islands have a tropical forest for you to adventure through. The most famous one is the Mastic Reserve.
There is a trail that leads through this woodland area of mastic trees and mangroves. If you’re lucky, you might catch a glimpse of the endangered blue iguana.
The Best Island Getaway
You’ll find no shortage of things to do in the Cayman Islands. After a few nights here, you’ll come to appreciate the relaxing and agreeable nature of island life.
