About
Grand Cayman – Culture
Grand
Cayman boasts the largest population of the three sister islands, representing
diverse cultures from across the globe with cultural influences primarily from
the United Kingdom, North America, and nearby Jamaica.
While
English is the primary and official language, Caymanian residents speak it with
a sing-song lilt, likely a combination of accents from European & Jamaican
settlers. It is with this lilting accent that you will be pleasantly greeted –
Caymanians are very friendly, and kind greetings are commonly exchanged.
There
are many restaurants on Grand Cayman, conveniently located near The Avalon’s
spacious Cayman condos. Restaurant fare ranges from beach casual to fine dining
with a variety of international flavours, but the cuisine primarily reflects
the island’s proximity to the sea as well as to Jamaica with a large selection
of succulent seafood and spicy Jamaican seasonings.
A
peaceful community with a thriving heritage of folklore, music, and customs
passed down through the generations, Grand Cayman is not well known for its
active nightlife. There are, however, plenty of activities to enjoy during
daylight hours, including world-class diving – among the many appealing
attractions that draw vacationers from around the world.
