Things to do in George Town, Grand Cayman: The Best Sights & Landmarks

October 24, 2021 Darleen Reid

Georgetown is the capital of the Cayman Islands and one of the most popular cruise ship destinations in the Caribbean, thanks to its year-round tropical weather, white sand beaches and clear blue waters. Don't miss Stingray City and diving and snorkeling near the coral reef. Georgetown offers plenty of duty-free shopping, restaurants and cafes. If you can pull yourself away from the beach, try an excursion to one of the West Indies' few remaining tropical rain forests.

A beautiful church with stain glass windows. Open all hours just to sit for 5 minutes and meditate. A little gem. Worth spending time to visit.

Porto di Georgetown (Port of George Town)

Reviewed By Munseyflora - Golden, United States

This is a tender port because of the reefs. The tender terminal has the usual array of tourist shops and tour vendors. It is conveniently located across the street from downtown. It has clean restrooms and shaded sitting areas. Georgetown can have six or seven ships tendering at the same time and can be chaotic at departure times so be sure to get on the tender for YOUR ship. The main (Seven Mile Beach) is about a 10" minute ($5) taxi ride from the pier but there is a small, local sandy area (Balboa Beach) 100 feet from the terminal if you want to get wet. Warm, clear water. Outside the terminal the city is full of high end jewelry, perfume and liquor stores - in addition to the usual T-shirt and souvenir shops. The city is clean and the locals friendly.

Heroes Square

Reviewed By JeanneJ739

We were in George Town on a Sunday, the only cruise ship and a relatively small one. Most shops and attractions were closed so we wandered about two blocks back from the tender terminal and found this open square in front of the local govermnent office building. Workmen were trimming the palm trees and cleaning the plaza. Interesting statues and sculptures with explanatory plaques.
