East of George Town Introduction For all the glitz of Seven Mile Beach and the high finance of George Town, the land east of the capital city is simple and countrified, charming visitors with a true Caribbean atmosphere. Condos are few and far between, sandwiched instead by miles of unimproved land and small Caymanian cottages.
Cattle graze in the fields, beaches stretch for miles without a watersports operator in sight.
East of George Town lies the bulk of Grand Cayman. This main highway changes names continually - it's called Jackson Road, Poinciana Road, Shamrock Drive, Church Street, Eastern Highway, A2, A3, A4, and more. This main road winds past several good swimming areas, including a public beach in Spotts and another in Breakers. If you turn north on Frank Sound Road, you'll pass the Mastic Trail and the Queen Elizabeth Botanic Park, both excellent attractions for those interested in the flora and fauna of the island. The road continues to Old Man Bay and meets up with the main road along the northern stretch of the island.
