Great short stop when traveling around seeing the sights
This place makes for a great little stop when seeing the sights in Grand Cayman. It is marked along the side of the road so you know where it is. It's exciting to watch and a great opportunity to take pictures. There's also some rock stacking going on there. There's easy access down to the area with steps but the shoreline is rocky so be careful.

Fun!
Was fun! Couple of tour busses there. Depends on time of day and tide on how great your experience is. Had to wait for just the right waves to get the blow hole effect but it was fun. Rough rocks so wear appropriate footwear but that’s ok to get wet.

Blow what?!
Such a cool spot and apparently one of not many in the world. Steer clear because the blowholes erupt when the ocean says it’s time. Great view and easy stop to help out nature into perspective….it’s also FREE!

A Quick 10-Minute Stop Absolutely Worth Seeing

Feb 2020

This is an easy thing to see, just pulling over off Sea View Rd. on the SE part of Grand Cayman Island. While there's a popular spot where the other visitors congregate at the base of the stairs from the road down to the beach, I found the most "interesting" blow hole about 50 feet to the left if you're facing the water (to the east). It's not as tall, but it makes this sound that's worth checking out.

To the right of the base of the stairs is an area where guests will stack rocks into cairns. I could take or leave this practice, but I did get some pretty photos of the rocks in the foreground and the blow holes in the background.

You can walk along the coral to see everything up close, but make sure you have on shoes.

This is a very quick visit, my friend and I spent about 10 minutes there.

We went on our own and loved it.

Feb 2020 • Couples

We stopped on our way to starfish point via car. It was a windier day, and the waves were crashing against the rocks. We saw several blow holes, which was cool. Only stayed for about 5 minutes. Probably not worth a tour if you have the means to get there yourself.

cool!

Feb 2023

This is something I have never seen, and I grew up near the coast. Every time a big wave comes in, the blowholes spit a jet of water up into the air. If you're close enough, you'll fee the mist, and it feels great. There are a lot of cool rocks around.

Interesting, quick stop

Feb 2020

It's worth a quick stop by the side of the road to see this, but I wouldn't recommend making a special trip. I saw a huge spray from a boat one afternoon so they can shoot water up pretty high. The day I stopped for pictures the sea was calm and the biggest sets of waves sprayed water 3-4 feet.

Unusual view of the ocean

Aug 2023

Limestone rock lines this area of the coast. Waves crash against the rocks, and when the water forces its way into some of the holes, the water shoots up. You can view from a stopped car, but it’s better to park and walk down a staircase for a closer view.

Fun and impressive when the waves are big!

Nov 2022

If you are driving over in this area it’s worth stopping by. Make sure and see if there are big waves crashing against the shoreline because that’s when the blow holes are impressive! The blow hole is basically straight out from the steps. When we stopped by, we had to wait a few minutes until some big waves finally rolled in and then it was impressive! Otherwise you may not see much if it’s fairly calm. There are a lot of interesting little hermit crabs crawling around the tidal pools closer to the viewing area for the blow holes.

Fun side trip

Feb 2020

Located on east side. There is an area to park and walk down. Nice spot for a picture, the blowholes go off every 2 minutes or so. Can spend about 5-20 minutes here, nothing else to do around there. If your exploring and near the area you can stop, otherwise not worth going out of your way

Dragons Breath!

Feb 2023

Worth a short stop to get out and view the blow holes. Grandchildren 5 and 8 really enjoyed the spray by standing right next to them. Looked like smoke or steam coming out of the small ones. (dragons breath) if you have a good imagination!

Fabulous sea 🌊

Mar 2022 • Family

The sea is very beautiful. I really like that view. But even though we waited for a long time, we could not see the water coming up from the blow hole. Nature changes suddenly... Whatever those who saw it said it was great. I love to visit again😎🌻( to see water coming up 😉from the blow hole)
