Cayman in a Nutshell

George Town Landfill fire

The George Town Landfill is closed to the public Friday morning and Cayman International School evacuated as a fire continues to burn at the dump.

Firefighters were originally called out to the site at 8:30am.

The fire was not believed to be burning on the main mound of the landfill, but rather in a scrap metal pile near an area where tyres and oil are stored.

George Town - Cayman Islands

Grand Cayman - Cayman Islands

The Cayman Islands are an autonomous British Overseas Territory in the western Caribbean Sea. The 264-square-kilometre territory comprises the three islands of Grand Cayman, Cayman Brac and Little Cayman, which are located to the south of Cuba and northeast of Honduras, between Jamaica and Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula. As of spring 2018, the population of the Cayman Islands was estimated to be 64,420 making it the second-most populated British overseas territory after Bermuda. The capital city is George Town, situated on Grand Cayman, by far the most populous of the three islands.

Grand Cayman is the largest of the three Cayman Islands and the location of the territory's capital, George Town. In relation to the other two Cayman Islands, it is approximately 75 miles (121 km) southwest of Little Cayman and 90 miles (145 km) southwest of Cayman Brac.

Grand Cayman Island has a number of natural attractions: the blow holes in the East End district, the Mastic Trail that runs north to south through the center of the island, Hell in the West Bay, and the Queen Elizabeth II Botanic Park.

Watersports such as scuba diving and snorkeling are popular activities on Grand Cayman as the island is known for its coral reefs and underwater sea walls along with a number of shipwrecks.

Because of its clubs, resorts, and hotels, Seven Mile Beach has the largest concentration of visitors and tourists on the island.

There are just under 600 banks and trust companies in the Grand Cayman, including 43 of the 50 largest banks in the world.[8] Because of this large financial presence on the island, banking, investments, and insurance drive the economy in Grand Cayman.[

GEORGE TOWN - GRAND CAYMAN 4K

George Town - Grand Cayman. Walk along Port city George Town In Grand Cayman Island.

A Day in George Town, Grand Cayman Islands (December 2017)

This was the first Port of call on our Norwegian Jade cruise on December 20, 2017. Hope you enjoy it. If you go there take a 20 minute walk to the 7 mile beach. It's white sands and blue waters are simply too enticing to miss. Then take the public bus for US$1 per person back to the port area. There are no bus stops because you can just wave to the public bus and it will stop and pick you up. Real convenient. Eat at any of the restaurants near the port, especially Margaritaville. You can't miss it. Take a walk around the area. There are some very high end stores there, if that's your fancy. Even if you don't shop, there is quite a bit to see. You could also take a tour of the island, in which case, you would need to do it as soon as you are off the ship.

We captured such beautiful photos of this place that we had to print them out and put it in our travel jounal. To do this we used the super convinient
HP Sprocket Portable Photo Printer which we purchased here -

GRAND CAYMAN (2018) WALKING TOUR - George Town & cruise port in winter (Christmas)

If you're wondering what to do in a day - in this slow tv tour, we arrive at George Town Grand Cayman cruise port by tender boat. In Grand Cayman snorkeling from shore is possible just a few yards from the cruise port. We pass several beach front bars and seaside grills that allow their customers to swim and snorkel.

One of the best free things to do in Grand Cayman cruise port at Christmas, is to just explore the multicolored seafront, with ships of all sizes moored out to sea in the background.

We pass through one of the main George Town shopping malls, (where you'll find coffee shops and free wifi - Grand Cayman cruise port shopping is no different than anywhere else!)

With so many bars and a glistening waterfront, one of the best things to do in Grand Cayman at Christmas is simply soaking up the sun, as the Grand Cayman weather at this time is perfect.

How do we afford to travel so often? We're lucky enough to stay for almost free in every city, using

Snorkeling Grand Cayman Rum Point

Instagram-
This video is taken with GoPro 3+. We were staying at 7-mile beach and decided to drive to Rum Point to snorkel for the day. We stopped along the way to see the blue iguanas. We first snorkeled along starfish point to see the giant starfish. After this we stopped at a beach at Rum point and asked if we could swim to the barrier reef. We were given a buoy with a flag that we swam with so that boats could see us. The current made swimming a bit more difficult. We swam about a half a mile in total, almost to the barrier reef and back. I also brought some squid to feed the fish and this made them swarm around us. We saw two eagle rays, some barracuda, a spiny lobster, lots of conch snails, and tons of colorful reef fish. The reef seemed very healthy. After snorkeling at many other spots in Grand Cayman Rum point was probably the best spot.
see link for maps of the snorkeling spots off of Rum Point.

More information about the video content bellow:
1. Cayman and Jamaica were governed as a single British colony until 1962, when the Cayman islands became designated a British overseas territory, one of 14 territories under the sovereignty of the UK but not part of the UK, while Jamaica became independent.

2. Cayman was first sighted by Christopher Columbus in 1503. He named the three islands Las Tortugas after the sea turtles he found there. The name Cayman, a Carib Indian word, came later, after a local species of crocodile (also called caimans elsewhere).

3. The three Cayman Islands, Grand Cayman, Cayman Brac and Little Cayman, are located in the western Caribbean about 150 miles south of Cuba. George Town, the capital, is on the western shore of Grand Cayman.

4. The Cayman Islands were the birthplace of Scuba Diving and the popular pastime was introduced in 1957. The island is home to dive sites for people of all skill levels including both shallow options (like Stingray City) and deep dives (such as Babylon).

5. Grand Cayman is a fantastic place to do absolutely nothing. Hotels line the soft white sand of Seven Mile Beach. Five minutes on this beach and you enter lazy mode. Your greatest exertion on some days may be holding your hand out to take your next iced beverage.

6. The Cayman Islands have the dubious honour of having experienced the most hurricane strikes in history. Due to the tropical location of the islands, more hurricanes or tropical systems have affected the Cayman Islands than any other region in the Atlantic basin; it has been brushed or directly hit, on average, every 2.23 years.

7. The Cayman Islands have more registered businesses than people (population is around 56,000). The government’s primary source of income is indirect taxation: there is no income tax, capital gains tax or corporation tax. Based on income, the Caymanians enjoy the highest standard of living in the Caribbean.

Royal Caribbean | Seven Mile Beach | Grand Cayman | 2017

During our cruise with Royal Caribbean Liberty of the Seas, we got to spend a day ( well 8 hours to be exact 10am-6pm) in the Grand Cayman. We can't go see stingrays because of our little one so we got a day pass from Sunshine Suites Resort for $205. The pass includes a room at Sunshine Suites Resort PLUS all the amenities at their sister property , The Westin. There is no docking in the Grand Cayman so we had to get on the ship's tender to get to shore and that took quite a while. When we got to shore, we made a mistake by going with one of the taxi buses .It was only $5/person but it was not worth it. They didn't leave until the bus was full and they made several stops so by the time we got to the Sunshine Suites Resort, we had about 4 hours to spend. After checking in, we headed straight to the Seven Miles Beach and enjoy every minutes that we could. When we got to the beach, we showed the workers our room key from Sunshine Suites Resort so they can set up a beach lounge area for us. The beach was nice and cool . The water was super clear and sand was pure white. We saw a bunch of tiny fishes when we were snorkeling and that was pretty up it. We didn't plan to have lunch at Tortuga ( The Beach Grill & Bar at the Westin ) but they told us that we can charge our bill to our room at the Sunshine Suites Resort so we were like why not. We got a Bloody Mary, a coke, some water, a chicken tenders basket, and some buffalo wings. The bill came out to $50 USD but it was worth it for the convenience and the great view. Overall it was a nice day at the Grand Cayman and we glad that we got the Day Pass at the Sunshine Suites Resort.
