George Town Waterfront
George Town
The area around the cruise terminal in the capital, George Town, packed with duty-free jewelry stores, colonial-style buildings, and waterfront restaurants.
George Town is the capital of the Cayman Islands. When cruise ships dock, passengers are ferried ashore by tender. Harbour Drive along the waterfront is the center of duty-free shops selling jewelry, watches, and rum cake. Nearby are the Elmslie Memorial Church, the ruins of Fort George, and the National Museum. The city is small, and a stroll takes one to two hours. In the evening, waterfront bars offer sunset views. Be aware that the midday crowds on cruise days are heavy, and most shops close on Sundays.
