For our family’s third day on Grand Cayman, we set out to explore where we left off the day prior. After spending nearly an entire day at Rum Point, we elected to drive the southern route and make our way counterclockwise around the island ultimately landing back up near Rum Point.

The first tentative strop was the visit the rather cheesy Pirate Caves. However, upon pulling into the facility, it appeared closed for good, and apparently by the online reviews, it was for good reason.

So we drove further down the road before coming to Heritage Beach. This was a very small little area that gave us our first shot at finding some shells on the island. Luck must have been in our favor, as for the first time we found several conch shells. Even later in the day after visiting several other beaches, we were not able to find any more conch like we did at Heritage Beach.

Next on the loop was Lovers Wall. We are not really sure what the significance of it is, but it allowed for the wife and I to take a quick picture since it is our anniversary trip and see the rocky shoreline. We had thought this might be where the blowholes were located, but it was not.

In an attempt to try and turn around the vehicle, we pulled into an abandoned house that must have been destroyed in a hurricane. The home was located right on the rocky shore overlooking the ocean, and provided some great shots of the environment, though a bit eerie realizing this was once someone’s home.

The blowholes were located a little further down the road and were marked with a sign on the opposite side of the road. The wind and waves were not procuring the best conditions to experience them, so we did not spend a long time here.

Nestled between two private residences if this excellent little beach that was perfect for kids, as well as secluded. I am not sure there was a specific name for this beach. During our visit for about an hour, we were the only ones there, allowing for the kids to play in the sand and take a quick stroll out onto the dock. They also have wooden cabanas which were excellent for shade, and a restroom building with shower. This proved to be an excellent beach, giving us some time to “waste” until lunch.

We spent lunch at Captain Herman Fish Fry, a small stand right on the ocean. After ordering our lunch, the shaded tables provided amazing views of the shoreline. Reminiscent of Hawaii’s shrimp stands, we ordered both Garlic Shrimp and Curry Shrimp, as well as Sweet and Sour Chicken and Chicken and Fries for all to share.

The food was great, but particularly good were all of the sides, two each with each meal. The potato salad was made with a variety of veggies and the coleslaw was slightly sweet, both great accompaniments on a hot day.

Further around the loop we made a quick stop at Davinoff’s Concrete Sculptures, a small yard with lots of concrete animals like crab, iguana, and crocodile.

Finally, to end the trip, we landed back near Rum Point and scoped out Starfish Point. You pull your vehicle right up to the ocean, step right in, and find starfish everywhere. It was our first time experiencing such a beautiful environment where the starfish naturally like to live. No cages or zoo, but nature the way it is supposed to be. The waters were very calm, making it excellent for kids and such a surreal experience and great way to end our day.
