Having a Blast in the Grand Caymans

Written by: Andy’s Rent-A-Car

The Cayman Islands certainly deserve their collective reputation for being some of the most beautiful tropical locations in the world, and this reputation is especially true for the biggest island, Grand Cayman. At 76 square miles, Grand Cayman makes up 76% of the Cayman Islands’ landmass, and features unparalleled scenic beauty and delicious native cuisine. With a large variety of outdoor activities and sights to see, Grand Cayman is a perfect place to spend a few days in the lounging in the sun and playing surf. Here are some suggestions to get you started on your tour of the island.

Leisure Car Rentals in Grand Cayman

Grand Cayman doesn’t compare to the mainland in terms of total land area, but the island can still prove challenging to get around without proper transportation. Better than bus or boat, car rentals in Grand Cayman are an excellent way for tourists to see the island. Those arriving by plane at Owen Roberts International Airport will find Andy’s Rent-A-Car an excellent option for those looking for an affordable and stylish means of getting around. Customers can either pick up their car directly from the George Town office (it’s only a 90-second walk from the terminal), or they can order a rental car to be delivered directly to their hotel.

Hitting Seven Mile Beach

This crescent-shaped and aptly named beach was honored by Caribbean Travel + Life as one of the Caribbean’s “Ultimate Beaches,” and for good reason. The entire beach is publicly accessible, and features much of the gorgeous marine life unique to the Caribbean. Drive out and enjoy the scenic coastal views—there are nearly endless places where you can park your car and jump into the ocean. Snorkeling, parasailing, and scuba diving are just a few of the options available to tourists at any given moment. Once you’ve tired yourself out, delicious food can be had at any of the numerous restaurants and luxury resorts that line the shore. If you’re feeling a more intimate, hands-on atmosphere, you can stay on the beach and host your own picnic—open grilling and pets are allowed free reign on the beach.

Explore More

Though it’s hard to imagine, Seven Mile Beach can be exhausted—eventually. In that case, there are plenty of other places to explore with your Grand Cayman car rental. The West Bay hosts the Kittiwake Shipwreck and artificial reef, which consistently ranks among the best sights in Grand Cayman. Also worth checking out is Queen Elizabeth II Botanical Park, which features beautiful landscaping and terrestrial life.
