Grand Cayman is my fav of the three Cayman islands.
There's an east end and a west end. Most of the tourists stay on the west end, at 7 mile beach. The beaches are for swimming. very sandy, no coral for snorkling.
East end is rougher surf, but lots of rock and coral. East end is quieter, no tourist shops, and if you take a walk in the jungle, you'll see wild, large iguanas if you go slow. It's 23 miles from the west end so rent a car if you stay on the east end.
Try Bob Sotos dive shop (west end) for great snorkle trips or resort dives. They are actually the first dive shop in the Caymans and know all the great spots, plus all the history of the places you'll see.
Don't forget to go swim with the wild stingrays. The snorkle boats let you off on the sandbar and you can feed wild, yes wild stingrays. It's real cool!
It's also cool to take a 2 person sub to dive the wall.
Enjoy Cayman, it's great!

I lived there for a few years and love the place. Here is a link for you to see the main tourist attractions. I would recommend the Botanic Park (home to the unique blue iguana and to Cayman parrots), Pedro St James, the Turtle Farm and the Museum as interesting places to visit. Don't go to Cardinal D's, which was one of the most disappointing places I ever visited in my life!
What you do depends on your budget and physique. If you are not interested in diving, then try snorkelling (and a trip to Sting Ray City) or a trip in a glass bottomed boat.
There is plenty to keep you busy, but perhaps you might wish to take advantage of the availability of very reasonably priced trips to Cuba every weekend. The sister islands (Little Cayman and Cayman Brac) are also a short flight away from Grand Cayman, where it is all happening. Little Cayman is unique in the Caribbean in being the breeding place of the red footed booby, but this may change in view of plans to build a huge international airport there (I hope these plans have been scrapped).

We love Grand Cayman and would cruise or visit there every year if possible. Our family will be cruising the week of March 18 making it our 5th visit to the island. Two years ago, our daughter was married on Governor's Beach in a beautiful beach wedding. Snorkeling is great, the tour to the Turtle Farm & Hell was a lot of fun. Very nice shops for purchasing your souvenirs. Margaritaville is new and we're excited to check it out. Seven Mile Beach is very clean and beautiful. You won't be sorry if you plan a trip to the Cayman Islands.

If you are looking for a safe Caribbean destination with great beaches, hotels, and restaurants, and enjoy scuba diving or snorkeling... then you'll enjoy Grand Cayman Island. If you have been to other Caribbean Islands, you may find Grand Cayama a bit more expensive.
It's one of my favorite Islands, I won't hesitate to go back.
Good Luck

Hi, unfortunately, I have not been there, but if I was, and loved it, I'd probably go again.
