The Perfect Grand Cayman Packing List

Built from Real Cayman Vacation Pros Who Have This Down to a Science!


One of my FAVORITE parts of being the admin of the following FB groups 

I ❤️ Cayman and Cayman Islands Travel Planners ❤️ is seeing the collective wisdom of seasoned Grand Cayman travelers come together.


These are the folks who return year after year, know exactly what they need, and have truly mastered the art of packing for Cayman. When I saw this group collaboration unfold, I knew it was GOLD — so I gathered the best of the best into one ultimate Cayman packing list.


So thank you, Team Cayman ❤️ — I learn SO much from you 😎😘😎😘

And if you’re planning a trip to Grand Cayman, this list will save you time, money, and packing stress!


✈️ WHAT SHOULD I BRING TO GRAND CAYMAN?


The BEST Cayman Vacation Packing List


👜 Smart Food & Grocery Travel Tips

• Buy Duty Free Liquor at your departure airport to save

• Bring 2 cans of tuna + medium mayo (easy meals!)

• Peanut butter

• Nuts

• Granola bars

• Oatmeal & cereals

• Crackers

• Tea bags

• Popcorn

• Pre-packaged snacks


Pro Tip:

Don’t stress about packing meats — shop fresh at Cost-U-Less or ShopSmart in Grand Cayman instead.


🏡 Condo Life & Comfort Essentials


If you’re staying in a condo or vacation rental, these are GAME CHANGERS:

• Bring your own coffee K-cups

• Ask your property manager what type of coffee machine is in the unit

• Tide Pods (perfect for mid-trip laundry)

• Dryer sheets

• Tote bags for shopping & groceries

• Small Yeti cup

• Small collapsible cooler for beach days


🏖️ Beach, Ocean & Adventure Must-Haves


For the best snorkeling, beach days, and ocean adventures:

• Buy a well-fitted snorkel mask — nothing beats your own fit

• Bring your own snorkel (no relying on worn rental gear!)

• UV-blocking rash guard / sun shirt

• Flip flops

• Sunglasses & hats

• Ocean-safe sunscreen

• Natural insect repellent (seasonal must!)


🐠 IMPORTANT: Reef-Safe Sunscreen (Protect Cayman’s Ocean!)


Please remember… the ONLY truly reef-safe sunscreens are those with Titanium Dioxide and/or Zinc Oxide as the ACTIVE ingredients.


💡 Don’t just look at the front of the bottle —

👉 Read the active ingredient list


Choosing reef-safe sunscreen protects:

• YOU

• Cayman’s coral reefs

• Fish & sea life

• The beauty of this island we all love ❤️


❤️ WHY THIS LIST WORKS


This packing list isn’t theory — it’s built from real travelers who return to Grand Cayman again and again. These are people who have learned what’s worth packing, what’s worth buying on island, and how to travel smarter.


It’s Cayman packing — done like a pro.

Certainly, a little bit of planning before your trip can help keep the costs down. A family of 5 can, indeed, enjoy restaurant meals at Grand Cayman.
