Pirate’s Caves

Pirate’s Caves (South Shore Road, Bodden Town, Grand Cayman) – these are natural limestone caves located on Grand Cayman’s south shore, and are a nod to the island’s history of pirate activity during the 17th & 18th centuries.  To accommodate the family-friendly tourist traffic, there’s a gift shop with pirate paraphernalia and a petting zoo.  There are a few artificial props such as (fake) gold bars, treasure chests and coins throughout the caves to add more reality to the legend of the pirates.  With the storm of 2004, many new caves were uncovered, leading to the discovery of many new underground chambers.
