The three Cayman Islands lie in the trade-winds belt. The prevailing NE winds moderate the temperatures, making the climate delightful all year round. Winter temperature averages 75º and summer averages 85º. Most rain falls between September and November, but even then it generally comes only in short bursts. March and April are the Cayman Island’s driest months.
The Cayman Islands are home to a people with wonderfully varied backgrounds. Native Caymanians have their origins in Britain, Africa and Honduras. The rest of our population (exceeding 50,000) comes from more than 80 different countries including the UK, US, Canada, and Jamaica as well as from Australia, New Zealand, the Philippines, South Africa, and Central and South America.
The Cayman Islands is a British dependency with a British Governor appointed by our head-of-state, the Queen of England. Our country is ruled by a democratically-elected Legislative Assembly and an Executive Council is responsible for the daily administration of the country. The Governor must normally take the advice of the council, except in matters of defense, internal security, external affairs, police and civil service.
English. Dialect and intonations used by Caymanians have puzzled some linguists but you’ll have no difficulty understanding. The charming Caymanian accent is a mixture of English accents from Wales, Ireland and Cornwall with a dash of American southern drawl and a Scottish lilt to end a statement.
Most supermarkets are generally open from 7AM – 11PM, Monday through Saturday; businesses 9AM – 5PM from Monday through Friday. A number of retail shops stay open on Saturdays. Only essential services, including pharmacies and gas stations, are open on Sundays.
Cayman Islands law prohibits all forms of public nudity, including topless sunbathing. In accordance with local customs, we also request that you cover up bathing suits as you leave the beach or resort.
Car and scooter rentals are available – remember to drive on the left and wear a seatbelt. Temporary visitor driver’s licenses are obtainable at car rental agencies by presenting a valid driver’s license. Bus service is available. You don’t have to find a bus stop – just stand on the side of the road and wave at an approaching white mini-bus with a colored dot on the front. Taxis are readily available.
We have modern medical facilities including both government-operated and private hospitals offering emergency, recompression chamber, and ambulance paramedic services as well as medivac service to US facilities.
