Animals from Hell!

As you may have learned from our past Hell post, Who Know Hell Could be Fun!, hell is an area in West Bay that has some interesting grey/black limestone formations that not only are a fun tourist attraction, but also home to some of Cayman's wildlife. When I visit Hell I like to head to the orange building to the right of the main post office. The proprietors of this property are the cutest older couple and have a vast knowledge of the wildlife that frequents the area, as well as a keen eye to spot them. In the photos below see if you can spot some of the Cayman critters!

Mango Maddness!

It is mango season here in the Cayman Islands. At Silver Sands there are many fruit trees including mango, avocado, key lime, guava and coconut. This time of year the mangos are growing and becoming ripe everyday. There is nothing like a ripe mango! A true tropical sweet treat, straight from nature. Come visit us at Silver Sands and pick one before everyone else does!

Mean and Green

Think these invasive critters are cute or creepy? As you walk the grounds of Silver Sands you will notice these green guys peering at you from the trees and bushes, sometimes even chilling right out in the open. The green iguana are not native to the Cayman Islands and not having any predators, have become a pest. Although they are beautiful creatures to look at, they eat native vegetation, poop everywhere! and are threatening the native Blue Iguana's habitat. So much that there is a nation wide bounty on these guys now! The government has an ongoing Iguana Cull hoping that it will cut down on the population of these scaly pests.

Spring Serenity at Silver Sands

Silver Sands has perhaps the largest and quietest stretch of beach on the whole of 7-Mile. We are situated on north end of the beach away from both the foot and motor traffic that congests the heart of 7-Mile. Come stay with us and find your spring escape and ultimate relaxation.

Dusk at Silver Sands

Silver Sands has so many beautiful moments through out the day. The quiet of the morning, the blazing blues of midday, the spectrum of sunset fading into dusk and finally giving way to the dark peaceful night. Come and experience it for yourself! We are on the quiet northern end of 7-Mile, away from the hustle and bustle of the main strip. One can really find that deep peaceful relaxation that comes with the Cayman dream.
