Shopping
Duty-free shopping is especially popular in
George Town
where you can choose from china, perfumes, leather goods,
watches, crystal, and more. Jewelry (mostly gold) is a popular
buy and available at stores such as
24 K-Mon Jewellers
(Trea-
sure Island Resort);
Savoy Jewellers
(Fort St. and Church St,
George Town); and
The Jewelry Center
(Fort Street in
George Town). For china and crystal, check out the
Kirk
Freeport Centre
(Albert Panton St., George Town). And don't
miss the oldest bookstore on the island,
Hobbies and Books
(Piccadilly Centre, Elgin Avenue).
If you're looking for something uniquely Cayman, check out
Caymanite
jewelry. Made from a stone found only on the east-
ern end of Grand Cayman and on Cayman Brac, Caymanite
somewhat resembles tiger's eye and is often sold in gold set-
tings.
Another popular island purchase is the
Tortuga Rum Cake,
made using five-year-old Tortuga Gold Rum. The cake is the
product of a 100-year-old family recipe. Or, if you just want to
skip the cake, take home a bottle of
Tortuga Rum, Blackbear,
or
Cayman Gold.
Little Cayman
On Little Cayman, attractions are primarily related to the sea.
Couples will find a romantic picnic and sunworshipping spot at
Point of Sand, also known as
Sandy Point
. To reach this re-
mote beach, turn right off the main road where you see a stop
sign at the approaching road. The sand is packed for the first
half of the drive, but stop at the wide section. Do not attempt to
take vehicles down to the beach because of deep sand. It's a long
walk back to town and there are no facilities or telephones in
this park. This beach, luminescent with beautiful pink sand, is
one of the island's prettiest and also most secluded. You very
well might spend the entire day on this stretch of beach and
never see another person (although on weekends visitors from
Cayman Brac often come over to enjoy the beach). A covered pic-
nic table invites you to enjoy a quiet lunch with the sound of the
sea as background music.
