Insects in Grand Cayman?
I've been to Grand Cayman 7 mile beach several times, but always in the March time frame. This year I'm looking to go the first week of June. I'm wondering. How bad is the mosquito situation on Cayman 7 mile beach in June (1st week of June)? I notice all the condos have screened in porches. I never needed them in March so I'm wondering what time of year insects may be an issue. thank you.

While Grand Cayman has an excellent mosquito abatement program, there can be mosquitoes anytime of year, especially after periods of heavy rainfall. The summer months usually present the greatest chance of encountering any of the biting insects that like to have a human blood meal. There is a reason for the lanai/patio screens. Using insect repellent, especially from Sundown through Dusk, is usually enough for most people to avoid an unpleasant experience.
