As Grand Cayman locals, you may think we’re biased when we say the Cayman Islands are a truly special vacation destination.
But having welcomed many guests over the years, we’ve seen time and again just how big of an impression the place we call home makes on people.
At Red Sail Sports, we have been the leading provider of beach activities, watersports, and boat excursions in Grand Cayman since 1987.
We’ve spent countless hours exploring Grand Cayman, the largest of the Cayman Islands.
Given its greater options for activities and adventures when compared with Cayman Brac and Little Cayman, we’ll focus our attention on what makes Grand Cayman special.

Grand Cayman Isn’t a Party Island
Grand Cayman offers many opportunities for thrills and excitement, but this doesn’t come in the form of a party destination.
The island has a laid-back and relaxed vibe, with a focus on family-friendly activities and a more sophisticated atmosphere.
Of course, there are still many bars and restaurants to enjoy drinks and music while taking in the beautiful island views.
But, on Saturdays, all bars and clubs must stop selling alcohol at midnight
As such, there are no massive beach parties and loud clubs that will keep you awake through the night.
Grand Cayman Has World-Class Scuba Diving Sites
Grand Cayman is a diver’s paradise, with outstanding scuba diving sites either accessible directly from the shore or via a short boat ride.
And there are options for all levels, from beginners to experienced divers.
You can expect looming walls, thriving coral reefs, shipwrecks, and more!
The USS Kittiwake wreck is among the most famous of our diving sites, but that’s only the start.
The underwater world of Grand Cayman, and the Cayman Islands as a whole, is breathtaking.
In fact, there are 365 dive sites across all three islands — one for every day of the year!

Grand Cayman Isn’t as Built-Up as Other Caribbean Islands
While Grand Cayman has grown in popularity over the years, it’s retained much of its original charm.
Yes, you’ll spot some familiar sights. But you’ll also see locals playing dominoes as well as vendors chopping coconuts and mangoes on street corners.
Even the main hubs on the island take a matter of minutes to walk through.
This all helps in the disconnection process, allowing you to enjoy a more relaxed and authentic Caribbean experience.

But there are also plenty of other options to choose from, including traditional Caribbean cuisine, international flavors, and even vegan and vegetarian options.
No matter what you’re in the mood for, you can find it in Grand Cayman.
