Blow holes in Caymans?

[bubbles1209]

I've read that there are blowholes in Cayman. Are they close to rum point? We're doing an excursion there, and it would be interesting to see those too while we are there.

Blow Holes are located 1.4 miles east of Frank Sound Road. If you are driving to Rum Point or the East End, you will pass by them. There are no signs, but it is marked on the local map you can pick up in Georgetown. There are just a set of beatup stairs that lead down to the ocean. We stopped for 15 minutes on our way to QEB Gardens. Pics:

We'll probably be doing the ship excursion, and from what I've read, you get to rum point by boat, so will we have enough time to go to the blowholes if our excursion ends at 1? We leave port at 3:30

Rum Point is in box #120 at grid C7 http://www.caymanlandinfo.ky/AtlasPages/gcpage120.pdf

 

The Blowholes are in box #79 at grid G5 http://www.caymanlandinfo.ky/AtlasPages/gcpage79.pdf

 

The turn off for Frank Sound road is in box #74 in grid C9 http://www.caymanlandinfo.ky/AtlasPages/gcpage74.pdf

 

The Blowholes are about 4 miles from the turn off to Frank Sound Road, and about 16 miles from Rum Point. You do not pass them on the drive to Rum Point, but you do on the way to East End. The photo linked by Raydar was not taken at the Blowholes.

 

If you are going to Rum Point by boat, then there are not reasonable transportation options to visit the Blowholes.

 

There is nothing to see at the Blowholes the majority of the time. Only when the sea conditions are right do the Blowholes put on their show.

Sorry, I guess we did pass the road to Rum Point, but it wasn't far and the Blow Holes where really doing their thing the day we where there. It was a fun, quick picture taking stop.
