Grand Cayman is the largest island in the Cayman Islands chain. You’ll need a car rental for Cayman Island, to get the true experience of exploring, but you can find plenty of places offering sites you can’t find anywhere else. Most of the year is very mild, and the landscape is like an island paradise. You’ll find hibiscus plants and palm trees all over the island, with bright beaches and plenty of diving spots.
There are some apps you can download to your smartphone that can help enhance your trip, even if you’ve come to disconnect. Turn the email off, and fire up some of these apps to make your stay in Grand Cayman more enjoyable.
Weather
Normal winter months in the US are the perfect time to visit Grand Cayman. Storms are less likely to hit during these periods, and the weather is generally quite mild. Almost hot on some days. October is the rainiest season of Grand Cayman, and weather can get a little unpredictable throughout the year. A good weather app will help you plan your surfing days with your shopping days, so you are never caught out in the rain unexpectedly. Great weather apps will give you temperature readouts by the hour too, so you can be sure that you have a coat for you or your partner when you hit the town for the evening.
GPS
Every Grand Cayman car for hire should come equipped with a GPS unit. The Cayman Islands aren’t particularly complex to get around in, but there are new construction projects happening all the time. As a result, the streets can be difficult to maneuver. There are also new detours that pop up, and a bit of traffic during weekdays especially. Grand Cayman is where the financial center of Cayman Islands is located, so crossing through that area at certain times of day can prove more hectic than sticking to the outskirts.
Google Sky
Google Sky won’t help you find new things to do, like bars or restaurants, but it will give your nights a lot more context. This fun little app allows you to point your phone up at the sky. Google uses your phone’s camera to identify where stars are located. Since you can see so clearly in the Cayman Islands, Google Sky is a fun tool to spend stargazing on warm nights on the beach. Search for constellations and get better perspective on your place in the universe.
