Help with Grand Caymans
 
Is there enough to do in the Caymans if you're not into a lot of watersports? Any reply would be greatly appreciated.

Good Luck!

Maybe I should try previewing my spelling before I post as well! :-d

Water sports are what the Caymans are all about and where the beauty lies--the water, the coral, the fish. If you have no interest in snorkeling or the beach, I'd head to a different island, perhaps Bermuda, which is spectacularly pretty, has more of a city and there is more to do away from the water. With the exception of the beach and water, Grand Cayman isn't a particularly pretty island, IMHO. I <i>do</i> love it, but then, water is my thing and and I enjoy all activities that normally surround it.

water is the main attraction on Grand Cayman; there is some shopping that is fun when cruise ships are not in port, a submarine you can take to see the coral, golf courses, tennis, botanical gardens, etc. If you're really not into sun or watersports at all, this is not the right place. Basically, any caribbean island will be a watersports mecca - Bermuda also has caves, museums, etc to explore and the mopeds are a hoot. If you just want to lay around, relax and occasionally take a dip, Rum Point on Grand Cayman is quiet and relaxing; major resorts are on Seven Mile Beach and that is a busy area. You can also rent bikes and bike around the island (takes most of a day).
