Rum Point: typically Caribbean

The narrow strip of land called Rum Point lies along the northern coast of Grand Cayman. In typically Caribbean form, it's laid back and worry-free, with not much more than a few swaying palms and Casuarinas, strips of white sand flanked by shallow turquoise waters and the odd beach bar knocking out cold beer and reggae from crackly radios. What could be better than tiptoeing down from your waterfront Rum Point vacation rental to a hammock and looking out to sea without the distractions of your cellphone and the responsibilities of home? Nothing.
