Some of the many things of interest to visit in Grand Cayman include a tour round Cayman Turtle Farm , which houses over 17,000 green turtles. Located at North West Point, this is the only commercial turtle farm in the world. Most of the turtles are used for meat locally since the USA banned the import of turtle meat, but an average 1,700 hatchlings and year-old turtles are released into the wild each year to replenish native stocks. Those at the farm range in size from two-ounce hatchlings to breeding stock weighing around 2 oz. You can also see loggerhead, hawksbill and ridley sea turtles, but the kemp s ridley are being transferred back to Canc n, Mexico.
West Bay is a colourful area with pretty old houses dating back to the seafaring days.
The National Trust has a self-guided walkers booklet of the area, directing you along lanes and paths and giving illustrated information about the district. The Pink House, built in 1912, is included in all tour itineraries as a typical Caymanian home. Originally home to the Bothwell family, it is now open to the public. Its traditional sand yard is raked every morning according to custom. The Caymanian Heritage Museum at the Four Way Shop on West Bay Road in West Bay is home to all sorts of artefacts.
