Grand Cayman beaches are wide, sandy, and fringed with palm trees, so beach-lovers have no shortage of coastline to enjoy. Crime is relatively rare; islanders are friendly, speak English and enjoy the highest standard of living in the Caribbean. Duty-free shopping in George Town is also a big attraction.

What to Wear

 

Modest dress is expected in the business district of Grand Cayman—which means no swimwear in town. Aside from this restriction, casual summer clothing is recommended year-round, day and night. Pack lightweight cotton, linen or silk clothing, which will provide more comfort in the tropical heat. Most restaurants will require you to put on shoes and a T-shirt if you are going in off the beach.During the winter months (especially January-March) take a light sweater with you. Some restaurants are quite smart, and you will want to dress up a little for them. If you're spending time on a boat, a waterproof Windbreaker will come in handy if the sea turns choppy. Wear a hat with a brim or a bill if you're going out on the water.
