A: Appleton Rum--While Appleton Estate Rum is Jamaican, it's very commonly found and consumed in the Cayman Islands. You'll find it at most bars, beach clubs and will most often be the rum in rum punch or other cocktails. The local rum is much cheaper than the imported rums such as Captain Morgan. By the end of your trip you won't even know the difference.
B: Beach--7 Mile Beach is one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. Whether you are walking, jogging, swimming, snorkeling, wading, or relaxing, 7 Mile Beach is for people of all ages.
C: Casanova's By The Sea--There isn't a better restaurant on the entire island than Casanova's. This authentic Italian restaurant overlooks the ocean and the service is what sets this restaurant apart from any other restaurant you'll visit. Whether you go with the classic lasagna, catch of the day or the made from scratch daily pasta-you can't go wrong.
D: Diving--Cayman has been known to have some of the best diving in the world. If you have never gotten certified, there are half-day certification classes offered at several places on the island.
E: East End-If you rent a car, a trip to the East End is a great way to spend a day. There are many highlights of a trip to the East End. You can stop in the early morning to see large sea turtles while snorkeling at Spotts Beach. You can get a historical tour of Pedro St. James castle. Finally, you can stop at any number of bars for a taste of Cayman-Czech Inn, Eagle Rays, Tukka East or Rum Point.
F: Food--The Cayman Islands offer some of the best seafood in the world. It is always caught fresh and every restaurant has their own unique preparation, including the always popular "Cayman Style."
G: Georgetown--Downtown Georgetown offers the island's best shopping. From jewelry, sunglasses, watches to souveniers and t-shirts, you will find it all in Georgetown. You'll even be able to find discounts and deals due to everything being duty free and tax free.
H: Hell--Yes there is a city on Grand Cayman called Hell. You can visit for photos, and even have a postcard sent back home from the "Hell" Post Office with an official postage stamp.
I: Iguanas--Don't be frightened by the large iguanas that sometimes hang around the pool area. They are very friendly and offer great photo opportunities.
J: Jerk chicken: If you aren't in the mood for seafood, try some of the best jerk chicken in the world at a number of local spots. Pepper's Bar and Grill might be the best spot for this island specialty.
K: Kittiwake--This popular shipwreck dive located in West Bay is just 10 minutes away from Sunset Cove.
L: Lobster-Many boat trips will catch fresh lobster in the North Sound (as long as it's in-season to do so) and most restaurants have delicisous fresh lobster. When you are snorkeling, you'll often see lobster poking their heads out of rocks.
M: Mudslide: Get an original mudslide from the Rum Point Club bar. This popular drink is simply vodka, Kahlua and Bailey's. Don't worry about ordering a virgin mudslide for the kids though. Cups of ice are free.
N: North Sound--This is the area between the two points of the North side of the island, where all the snorkel trips visit. The snorkel reef at the North Sound is second to none with the beautiful corals and colorful fish. One of the best snorkel spots on the island is the Coral Gardens located in the North Sound.
O: Ocean--The Cayman Islands waters offer great clarity for snorkeling and optimum temperatures for swimming or wading all day. They also are safe for children because the Cayman Islands have very little current.
P: People--Caymanians are some of the friendliest people in all the world. They are always willing to help and are quite entertaining to talk to with all their island stories. You will also frequently see Jamaicans on the island who make their way over from the nearby island.
Q: Queen conch--The meat that comes out of the famous conch shell is an island delicacy that you can order as an appetizer at most restaurants. If you are there during conch season (November-April), you can dive for conch and eat it right on the boat!
R: Rum Point--Home of the Original Mudslide, Rum Point is a must-visit place. It's a good 45 minute drive from Georgetown, but offers an opportunity to see the native land and you are rewarded with a mudslide when you get there. This quiet beach offers a nice swimming area as well.
S: Stingray City--One of the more unique places in the world, Stingray City offers the opportunity to swim with, pet, and feed these amazing animals. If you have the right captain, you might even be able to get a stingray back massage.
T: Turtle Farm--The Cayman Island's Turtle Farm is a great spot for children to visit where then can pet, hold, and learn all about turtles.
U: UV Rays--No matter how much sun you are used to or how much you tanned before you visited, lots of sunscreen is going to be needed. The Cayman Islands are located on the equator and combined with the reflection of the sun off the pool and ocean, the perfect receipe for sunburn.
V: Vacation--There is no better vacation spot in my mind than Grand Cayman. It combines sunshine, water, drinks, great food, relaxation, and beautiful sunsets all into one amazing visit.
W: Watersports--Take a walk down 7 Mile Beach and visit any of the Watersports stands. Jetski. Parasail. Kayak. Banana Boat Rides. They have it all for you or your family to enjoy.
X: XoXo: Weddings. Honeymoons. Anniversaries. There is no more romantic place than Grand Cayman in the world.
Y: Year-round: Grand Cayman is a year-round destination. There is never a bad time to visit Cayman. Whether in the hot summer months, or the warm winter months, the Cayman Islands are always comfortable and the water is always warm.
Z: Zoo: The Grand Cayman waters offer your very own under-water zoo full of animals and fish.
