debster818 Posted February 5, 2010 #1 Share Posted February 5, 2010 My husband and I decided that we are going to rent a car in Grand Caymen. Now we are looking for suggestion on where to go, what to see, etc None of the tours interested us. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruce-r Posted February 5, 2010 #2 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Seems like I'd identify places to visit before I decided if I was going to need a car to get there. What interests you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debster818 Posted February 5, 2010 Author #3 Share Posted February 5, 2010 We have not reserved a car yet. Beaches, scenery, fun bars. Heard something about Hell, Turtle place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruce-r Posted February 6, 2010 #4 Share Posted February 6, 2010 Hell = Lots of sharp rocks, a couple of gift shops, and a small post office so you can send cards/letters with a postmark from Hell. Turtle Farm = farm Actually, you'd probably be better off just taking a taxi there, and it has grown past it's original function of growing turtles as a product into a destination with a beach club kind of place with turtles. website ---> http://www.boatswainsbeach.ky/ I'd suggest a trip to the East end or Rum Point. Both places where it would be better to have a vehicle rather than taking a taxi IMO. BTW, you do know that they drive on the "wrong" side of the road in GCM?

debster818 Posted February 6, 2010 Author #5 Share Posted February 6, 2010 I did not know about the driving thing. I will have to talk to hubby. Maybe we should just take a cab to a beach and hang out. Which beach would you suggest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drew sailbum Posted February 6, 2010 #6 Share Posted February 6, 2010 BTW, you do know that they drive on the "wrong" side of the road in GCM? Actually, we tend to find that the tourists driving the rental cars are the only ones who regularly end up on the wrong side of the road. ;) Don't worry. You rental car will have a white license plate to warn the rest of us. As to suggestions... rental cars let you explore the eastern districts where few cruise ship tours go. Pedro St James historic site, the Mission House, and the Botanic Park are all out east. Top it off with a lunch at Miss Vivines in Gun Bay for a spectacular view.

bruce-r Posted February 6, 2010 #7 Share Posted February 6, 2010 Actually, it really isn't all that hard to drive on the left side of the road, if you pay attention to the driving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
