Culture & Travel Tips
Best Time to Visit
November to April is peak season with dry weather and pleasant temperatures (24-28°C). May to October is rainy and includes hurricane season, but offers lower prices. Sea temperatures are perfect year-round.
Cultural Notes
British influence is strong - driving is on the left. The islands were once a pirate haven. Today, banking and tourism dominate. Caymanians are proud of their heritage. Try traditional turtle soup (though controversial).
Insider Tips
Grand Cayman has Seven Mile Beach and Stingray City. Cayman Brac offers rock climbing and diving. Little Cayman is for serious divers seeking Bloody Bay Wall. Rent a car to explore. Everything is expensive here.
