Description:
Grand Cayman is the most visited of the Cayman Islands and the best for supplies (but these can be expensive) and services. Good for snorkeling as well as diving.
It is a popular stopover for yachts on passage between Panama and Key West, Florida and also a popular stop for cruise ships which is reflected in local prices.
Entrance Notes and Cautions:
The Customs Dock has a reported depth of around 2.3m. Cruisers also report that the final approach would be untenable in a strong swell as the dock is close to a coral head (above water). It is possible to anchor and either use your dinghy, or in some cases the authorities have arranged a launch service.
Cruiser Highlights:
Excellent supermarket - expensive but balanced out with no charge for visas, mooring or cruising permit.
Position:
19° 18'N, 81° 23'35"W
