West Bay, North Side, Rum Point and East End

Suits:

Second-day drives: turtle farm, Stingray City, blowholes, historic Bodden Town

In short:

All by car or tour; nothing outside George Town and Seven Mile Beach is a walk.

Grand Cayman is a flat island about 35 km long. George Town sits on the west coast, Seven Mile Beach and Camana Bay a short drive north, West Bay at the north-west tip, Rum Point and North Side across the sound, and the quiet East End and Bodden Town along the south coast. Distances look short but there are few routes, so traffic bunches at the roundabouts at rush hour.
