On Foot
Walking & Hiking
With its flat grade, walking is a popular activity on all three Cayman Islands.
Except along West Bay Road, parallel to Seven Mile Beach, and in George Town,
there’s very little traffic to contend with and plenty to see. Walking is a
good way to meet local residents; it’s traditional to greet others with “Good
morning” or “Good afternoon” and a smile.
Hikers will also find marked trails. The Mastic Trail on the East End of Grand
Cayman is the newest offering (see the East of George Town chapter for more on
this trail, which features several eco-areas on a guided walk). Another
excellent hike, this one self-guided, is found at the Botanic Garden, also
discussed in the East of George Town section.
NOTE: Mid-day heat can be intense, especially
once you enter the interior of the island away from the cooling tradewinds.
Always carry water with you and be aware of heat exhaustion and sunstroke.
