Stingray City is a must-see. Countless tour operators can take you there on single hull boats or catamarans. Go in the morning hours because it tends to be calmer and prettier.

If you take a trip to Rum Point, stop at Kaibo Bar for lunch and then head further to Starfish Point. Starfish Point is known for... lots of starfish. Please keep them in the water when you take photos.

Cheeseburger Reef just off Lobster Pot is a great place to start your diving certification, and Living the Dream Divers can take you there. Cayman's underwater world is amazing.

Yoshi Sushi
West Bay RoadOur favorite sushi spot, stay in or take out. Reasonably priced.
An authentic, local, “hole in the wall” experience I highly recommend. The fish is always fresh and the meals are delicious. It is easily accessible via Boggy Sand Road, a short and idilc walk. Super cheap (by Cayman standards).

Traveler advice
Customs and culture
Feel free to say hello to neighbours
Living in a small community on a small island, Cayman residents are used to greeting and being greeted by strangers passing by.
Customs and culture
Do not feed the birds
Please do not feed chickens if you see them on the property. Cayman law prescribes fines of up to $500,000 USD and 4 years in prison. I am not kidding.
