Cayman Islands Crime

One of the Cayman Island's greatest assets is its low crime rate. With its excellent economic position, crime is rare. Vacationers and locals both enjoy walking on public beaches or strolling along busy West Bay Street after an evening meal.

Crime rates are especially low on Little Cayman. When you pick up your rental car at one agency in town, they'll tell you just to leave the keys in the ignition.

However, no destination is completely crime-free. Use the same common-sense precautions you would exercise at home.

Do not leave valuables on the beach while swimming.Invest in a waterproof pouch for keys and necessities and lock other items in your car or hotel room.

Don't leave valuables in your unlocked rental car. Many of the Cayman Islands rental cars are open-air jeeps. Leave possessions in your hotel room.

Use hotel safes and safety deposit boxes.

Don't walk in isolated areas alone at night.
