TThe expression: “to hell and back”, has a special meaning on Grand Cayman Island. Here, you can go to the small community called “Hell” and actually send a postcard back home postmarked from Hell. They say that a British Commissioner, arriving in the early 1930’s at this now popular site, took one look at it and cried “Oh Hell!” Once you have visited Hell and seen the lava rocky crags lining the shoreline, you can imagine how forlorn the area must have been about 80 years ago.

Fortunately, “Hell” is not representative of the beauty of the rest of the Cayman Islands, nor the laid back friendly residents who make your arrival enjoyable.
