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 -

Georgetown Grand Cayman Cruise Port Area Tour (4K)

See what the cruise port area of Georgetown, Grand Cayman looks like after taking a tender boat ride from the ship. Cruise ships tender here because the waters are too shallow to dock.

The Grand Cayman Cruise Port landing area has several zones- the South Terminal, the North Terminal & Royal Watler Terminal. There were lots of shopping abound as well as you walk down Church St which becomes Harbour Dr- the Bayshore Mall, Turtle Bay, Margaritaville, Tortuga Duty Free, Churchill's Cigars, plus various shops at Royal Watler.

There was a small beach at the port area, though we did not see anyone on there, so it likely is off limits. The industrial port area near Grand Cayman Port Authority provides a nice view of all the cruise ships anchored. We observed the Carnival sensation, Carnival Dream, MSC Opera, Star Clipper Star Flier, the Celebrity Equinox and our ship the MS Eurodam.

The walk itself had some historical locations such as Hog Sty Bay, the Grand Cayman National Museum and Fort George. You can actually spend the whole day in this area shopping, people-watching, and enjoying the beautiful scenery.

This was from our December 2017 cruise aboard the Holland America Eurodam.

Grand Cayman Island, George Town | CruiseOne

Grand Cayman has a reputation for both its booming financial sector and extraordinary beaches.

This destination woos travelers with soft, sandy shores lined with swanky hotels and restaurants. And yet, you’ll also discover a quiet, authentic Caribbean charm here as well. It’s no wonder that the island’s capital of George Town is a mecca for cruise ship visitors.

If you’ve booked a shore excursion, it will depart right from the port downtown. But those exploring on their own can stroll past funky shops and hopping restaurants from the moment they arrive on the island.

You’ll also want to experience the Seven Mile Beach, which is perhaps the best-known attraction in the region. Or you could head to Smith Cove where exceptional snorkelling, cliff diving and swimming awaits. It’s also a popular spot among the locals.

And if there’s one thing you must do before departing from remarkable island, it’s sampling the exquisite seafood as you dine by the sea. This video will give you more ideas for Grand Cayman shore excursions.

Seven Mile Beach | Cayman Islands Sotheby's International Realty | Caribbean


Seven Mile Beach, Grand Cayman - Moving to the west of George Town, you will travel along the West Bay Road which features the world famous crescent of Seven Mile Beach, a truly spectacular stretch of pure white sand which plays home to some of the finest luxury beach front properties within the Cayman Islands and the Caribbean with enviable ocean views and state-of-the-art amenities.
New construction is limited in this area but the length of Seven Mile Beach is fringed with condominiums which have either been very recently constructed or are well-established. The building code in the Cayman Islands has historically prevented the development of high rise condominium blocks which means that Seven Mile Beach remains a peaceful paradise with some of the least dense beach front real estate offerings in the Caribbean. The variety of property available on Seven Mile Beach however is great starting from an entry point of around US$300k right up to the super luxury residences to be found at The Ritz-Carlton Grand Cayman, Water's Edge, Caribbean Club and Water Colour's which can run into eight figure sums. Choose from family-friendly properties with lots of excellent lifestyle amenities such as tennis courts, swimming pools and gyms, as well as higher-end homes that incorporate the latest designs, materials and fixtures and fittings into a contemporary and luxurious property. Residences at The Ritz-Carlton Grand Cayman offer all the luxury lifestyle choices associated with hotel including the spectacular Silver Rain a La Prairie Spa, world class dining at Blue by Eric Ripert and a Nick Bollettieri designed tennis program, the coach behind such tennis greats as Andre Agassi, Monica Seles and Maria Sharapova.

On the east of the West Bay Road, running parallel to Seven Mile Beach, upscale condominiums and homes line the canals that bisect the land, creating local communities all along this stretch of Grand Cayman which overlooks the waterfront playground of the North Sound. The Ritz-Carlton Residences stand proudly on Seven Mile Beach, and the Resort as a whole straddles the entire width of the West Bay Road with the Ritz-Carlton Deckhouses overlooking the canals on the North Sound. On the North Sound side of the road a diverse selection of properties to suit a variety of budgets and a select collection of contemporary, luxury homes, many with their own boat deck, pool and incredible private view of the North Sound. The major waterfront developments with North Sound boat access are, starting south & working north: Camana Bay, Britannia Golf Resort, Snug Harbour, Canal Point, The Ritz-Carlton Deckhouses & The North Sound Club Golf Course, Crystal Harbour including The Grand Caymanian a Ramada Resort, Governor's Harbour, Cayman Islands Yacht Club, Vista del Mar and the newly developed Salt Creek a gated residential waterfront community of luxury homes. #SevenMileBeach #sothebysrealty #CaymanIslandsrealestate

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.[

Grand Cayman in November

We went down with a group of old friends to Grand Cayman to witness some of our best friends get hitched. While there we played in the water and drank the island (and our pockets) dry.

Thanks for the invite and hospitality Alex and Pater!

Carnival Dream Day 5 Georgetown, Grand Cayman

This is day 5 of our October 2017 Carnival Dream Cruise. We took an amazing excursion offered through Carnival that we were hesitant to take at first. After snorkeling at many exotic destinations around the Caribbean this was the most amazing experience yet. For the price of just $35pp and the pristine waters of the ship wreck Cali it was the best we have taken yet.
Thanks so much for watching and don't forget to like and subscribe.

Visiting The Cayman Islands On The Norwegian Epic For The Day

Visiting The Cayman Islands On The Norwegian Epic For The Day I used to live in the Cayman Islands and whenever I had relatives or friends come in to the island on a cruise ship I knew I had limited time to show them the island. The last time I went to Grand Cayman, I was on a cruise ship with my wife and we rented a car and drove the island ourselves. This allowed us to avoid the crowds and see what we wanted to see for as long or as short a time as we wanted. Enjoy the video!

Cayman Islands – Number 1 Caribbean Holiday Destination

Discover the ultimate Caribbean experience in the Cayman Islands with British Airways. Sale now on.

Located south of Cuba and northwest of Jamaica, the Cayman Islands are three idyllic islands nestled in the warm turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea. Each island offers a unique experience, united by a warm Caymanian welcome in a truly outstanding natural environment. These tropical islands enjoy an average temperature of around 28 degrees Celsius, perfect for a spot of sunshine year-round.

Dubbed the culinary capital of the Caribbean the food options on offer in the Cayman Islands are second to none. Grand Cayman alone boasts in excess of two hundred restaurants serving local and international cuisine, many of which can be found along the world-famous Seven Mile Beach. For a truly authentic experience, try the freshly caught fish and seafood and dine outdoors under the stars.

As well as delicious the Island’s local delicacies, there are a whole host of activities to get stuck into. For relaxation, swimming and sunbathing head to Seven Mile Beach, a seemingly endless stretch of pristine white sand and palm trees. Alternatively, Rum Point is the perfect venue for cocktails, lazing in hammocks and generally soaking up the laidback beach lifestyle. Of course, the crystal clear waters surrounding the islands offer endless hours of entertainment including sailing, kayaking, jet-skiing, kitesurfing and paddle boarding.

A trip to the Cayman Islands is not complete without hopping over to the sister islands, Cayman Brac and Little Cayman. Getting to the islands is a mini adventure in itself as you fly in a 16-seat twin-Otter aircraft, sitting right behind the pilots. On rugged Cayman Brac, you can explore miles of nature trails, with educational information on flora and fauna displayed on plaques along the way. There is even the option to have an energetic local tour guide to show you around free of charge.

Little Cayman, the smallest of the three islands, is paradise. With a population of just 150, this is the perfect place to step away from the world and relax in hammocks under shady palm trees. There are several stylish resorts on Little Cayman, where traffic is minimal (cycling is the norm) and the iguana is given right of way.

Whether drawn by its history and heritage, the wildlife, the marine world or its sandy bays and beach bars you’ll soon discover that the Cayman Islands is a unique travel destination that brings more than a splash of colour to even the most seasoned traveller’s explorations.
