People have been telling me to "Go to Hell" for as long as I can remember, so I finally went - just for the Hell of it. Who could have known that I would find Hell in Paradise.
Hell is a small district in West Bay on the northwestern end of Grand Cayman Island. The community consists of a post office, three gift shops, a few scattered houses, and an intriguing rock formation which inspired locals to call it "Hell." This is a fun place to visit, if for no other reason than it lends itself to so many good-natured jokes. It is also a great place to get intresting one-of-a-kind souvenirs.
Hell is located in a beautiful rural area of Grand Cayman Island which makes for an enjoyable diversion from the crowded streets of George Town, the capitol city, where most tourists tend to gather. However, Hell itself can be crowded when tour buses full of cruise ship passengers are disgorged here - all happy to say afterwards that they've been to Hell and back.
We didn't see the devil in Hell. Perhaps he was out for the moment - or just wearing one of his many disguises.
However, on the viewing platform which overlooks the Hell rock formations there is a cutout picture of the devil where you can insert your own head for a photo. You will find it at the end of a short boardwalk, behind the Hell Post Office. Few who visit Hell can resist this hellish opportunity. Best of all - it's free.
