Pirates Week 2016: The Pirates Pooch Parade!

Here in Cayman everyone gets into the famous Pirates Week! Including our beloved Cayman mutts and the Pirates Pooch Parade!

November is a great time to visit the Cayman Islands, it is still low season and the island is on the quieter side with visitors, Silver Sand's beach is still very quiet, plus there are the activities of Pirates Week! You can even go to the Humane Society and adopt a doggie for the day and participate in the fun Pirate Pooch Parade.

Many people come on vacation and miss their pets at home. Visitors can satisfy their canine cravings and head to the Humane Society where the dogs are always grateful for a walk, a day out at the beach, or even adoption!! There are many organizations that can help visitors take these beautiful and unique Cayman mutts back home to the US for a forever home.

A huge thanks to the Humane Society of the Cayman Islands, all the lovely Cayman residents who are doggie lovers and took the time to dress the HS doggies as pirates, and of course Barb for her amazing photos, thanks Barbara Virano Cevela Photography!

Local Eats with Island Flare Part 2: Over the Edge

Carrying on with our theme of great Local Eats with Island Flare Part 1: Heritage Kitchen, I feel like a shout out to Over the Edge is definitely in order. This quirky old school Caribbean restaurant has an unbeatable view of the Northside waters and is a very casual and affordable dining experience. You can get a range of traditional seafood dishes, johnny cakes, land crab and even a Jamaican favorite Akee and Saltfish. Of course there is something for everyone on the menu.

One of the many perks of this northside eatery, is that it can be perfectly paired with a tour of the Cayman Crystal Caves that are just down the street. It is about a 1 hour drive from Silver Sands, however totally worth it. Check out our blog post on the Crystal Caves and see if we can't convince you to take a break from our beautiful beach and explore Cayman's interior.
