Practical tips for Cayman Islands
- The local currency is the Cayman Islands Dollar (KYD), but US dollars and major credit cards are universally accepted everywhere across the islands.
- Driving is on the left-hand side of the road, and while public minibuses run frequently along Seven Mile Beach, renting a car is best for exploring the East End and North Side.
- The Cayman Islands have one of the lowest crime rates in the Caribbean, but standard precautions apply and beachwear should strictly be confined to the beach or pool areas.
Fun fact about Cayman Islands
The Cayman Islands are technically the peaks of the Cayman Ridge, an underwater mountain range, meaning Seven Mile Beach sits right on the edge of a deep oceanic trench that plunges over 25,000 feet!
