Where ships dock

George Town has no berthing facilities, so ships anchor offshore at one of four points and bring passengers in by tender boat. The tenders land at the harbour dock by downtown George Town. Grand Cayman is a tender port, so an early shore pass from the ship is needed. Ships usually stay about 8.5 hours.

Getting into town

The tender ride ends at the harbour dock in downtown George Town, the capital of the Cayman Islands. From the harbour dock the walk is about 5 minutes. The town gets very busy on days when many ships are in.

Getting around

Taxis are available at the cruise ship docks in central George Town and at all resorts. Seven Mile Beach is not within walking distance of the harbour docks, and a taxi is the usual way to get there. The Queen Elizabeth II Botanic Park in North Side is a drive of roughly 40 to 45 minutes east of George Town. One operator offers free transport to and from the cruise dock, and a free shuttle runs from the George Town cruise ship port terminal and Seven Mile Beach resorts to the Paradise Discovered tour departure station.

Near the pier

The National Museum is in a former courthouse, and its gift shop was once George Town's first post office. Eden Rock and Devil's Grotto sit next to each other close to George Town.
