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.

First built in 1780, the Great House at Pedro St. James (PSJ) is the oldest surviving stone structure in the Cayman Islands. A national historic site, its administration serves to preserve the physical building and to tell the story of the historical happenings occurring within the Great House’s walls. The PSJ attraction is located along the rocky cliffs of the area known as Pedro’s Point on Grand Cayman — in the country’s first capital of Bodden Town. Once a jailhouse, a courthouse, and house of parliament, the building, and the district of Bodden Town were dubbed “The Birthplace of Democracy in the Cayman Islands” - a title still worthy of national pride 240 years later.

My husband and I stopped at Pedro St James for a couple hours one morning to learn about the history of the island. We opted for the self-guided tour, which did not leave us wanting for information as there are signs throughout the main house talking about the history of the plantation and the structure, as well as panel after panel of island history in another building on the grounds. The whole area is gorgeous, from the patio of the visitor center, to the gazebo on the grounds, to the brilliant ocean views from the top floor of the main house, and there is a cute swing hanging from a tree that we stopped to enjoy as well. When we had wandered through to our hearts' content, we went into the theater for the show. It is a multimedia presentation of the plantation's history with immersive special effects. The room was cool, which was a change from the warm outside air. I wish we had known ahead of time that there was a special community dinner and rum tasting happening that evening, as we had other plans already and would have been interested in coming back for it!

This church is located just outside the cruise ship port. It was originally built back in the 1920's and is a testament to the local parishioners & pastors for keeping up on this unique building. The doors were open for anyone to enter. BOTTOM LINE: If you love old churches as my wife and I do, be sure to take a moment out of you strolling the streets of George Town to admire the inside and outside of this old church. The two main stained glass windows inside are amazing. Loved seeing the congregation dark wood benches and massive ceiling wooden beams. Outside are several old grave headstones along the street to view. This is one of the oldest churches in Grand Cayman and is worth your visit! MY RATING: 9/10.

Shipwreck favored by divers.

We used Cayman Divers to dive the Oro Verde wreck. Like other reviewers have stated the wreck is at a depth of 60-65feet and is scattered/ broken up over ~150 feet. This is what makes this wreck so much fun because all the little nooks and crevices allow the reef critters to hide. The coral and life on the wreck is healthy. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed diving this wreck.
