Land Crab Season is in Full Scuttle

The Cayman land crab is a common sight at Silver Sands and around Cayman between May and August. Once the first rains start to come marking the rainy season, the crabs come out of their underground burrows and start scuttling around the island. Since they go to the sea to breed they are usually never too far from the water. These animals range from tiny baby size and can get up to a fairly large crustaceans with pincers to match! They reach maturity at the age of about 4-5 years, and can live up to 10 years. 

Unfortunately these guys are up against may obstacles here in Cayman, between the road and largely going unnoticed by motorists at night, all the building on the island and the crab's loss of habitat, and the locals taste for these guys, to see a large one like this guys pictured here, is becoming a more and more rare sight.

The Cayman Compass posted an interesting article you can learn more about how these guys are being studied here in Cayman, and the Department of Environment has an interesting write up on the life cycle and habits of these indigenous creatures.

These guys are younger crabs that tend to be more colorful. They are both giving the warning sign to keep away. When they feel threatened they put their claws up for their enemy to see how fierce they are.

Cayman Carnival: Batabano 2016!

Another successful year of the Cayman Carnival Batabano! On this wonderful day in May islanders of all shapes and sizes deck out in feathers and sequins and dance to Soca music down West Bay Rd. The costumes are definitely stepping it up this year, with Swanky looking awesome! 

This super fun parade can be participated in not only by locals, but by visitors too! If you are staying at Silver Sands you can sign up and join a band and jump in the parade fully decked out in a costume, or enjoy it from the sidelines along West Bay Road a bit further south from Silver Sands.

Love the photos and costumes? Check out Batabano 2015 here.

There is even a Jr Batabano the week before for kids! The costumes are beautiful and these kids are cute!

And a big thanks to the ever so talented Batabano photographers Cortez Vernon and Barbara Virano Cevela Photography for the great photos as usual!

Cayman's Lavish Sunday Brunch Scene

While on vacation here at Silver Sands why not partake in a favorite weekly tradition of Sunday Brunch. There are some pretty spectacular spreads on offer island wide and our very own Good Taste Magazine has written the go-to guide for first time brunch diners. Below are my personal 3 favorites all in the close vicinity of 7-Mile beach and Silver Sands.

As with any popular eating location, be sure to book before you go, especially with bigger groups or around bank holidays, brunch is a favorite and can fill up with locals and tourists alike!

Luca at the Caribbean Club

My personal favorite, Luca offers a buffet spread consisting of a little bit of everything! From breakfast, to sushi, to meat and mash it is a game of pacing yourself so you can make it to the world class dessert table. Luca also offers indoor and outdoor sea-side dining options.

Anchor and Den at the Marriott

Fairly recently the Marriott revamped their hotel and with that bloomed Anchor and Den. This trendy brunch offers creative fresh juices, traditional breakfast options as well as interesting international cuisine. Dining in this bright beautiful atmosphere surrounded with delicious food is definitely a must.

Aqua Resturant at Galleria Plaza



Aqua is known for their ceviche and seafood, which is generously on offer for Sunday Brunch. Topped with other food options and bottomless champaign (standard brunch fare) this brunch is a great option for an indoor brunch experience.
