If you go to Grand Cayman you have to visit Hell just to say you've been there & back. It's fun to send a postcard from Hell to your friends, too. It looks just like the picture. There's only 2 small gift shops w/ limited options. Get a simple souvenir just for fun....

While visiting Grand Cayman on a cruise we decided to head to "Hell". When we arrived, we decided to walk around the area and visit Post Office and souvenir stores. As we walked near the entrance to get a picture with the main sign, we were stopped by a man selling coconuts at the front of the property. I was unsure of him because he looked very unkept and smelled very odd. Almost like moldy clothes.
As were inquiring about them he informed us that it was $5 and that he also sold Marijuana. We were in shock! We had just come from Jamaica and the experience was HORRIBLE! Everywhere we went in Jamaica we were pushed to buy Marijuana. It was disgusting. We will never disembark in Jamaica again!!
A lady we had met on the tour bus from our ship relieved our fears from Jamaica that Grand Cayman would not be so, as she had been several times and Marijuana was illegal in Grand Cayman and that we should also experience a more pleasant experience as the locals were much nicer. She was also who recommended visiting "Hell". She told us she enjoyed sending Post Cards to family from the Hell Post Office and the souvenirs were cute (We did get a few).
We were just so disappointed because even after we refused explaining that we did not smoke, he still insisted that we purchase some marijuana. And was very aggressive about it. We said we would be back to get away from him, and decided to buy a coconut from the dock where we landed on the way back.
Overall, the Grand Cayman experience was great, and we will visit again just not likely to go back to "Hell"! especially if that man is still there!

Our tour stopped here and we specifically booked it because we’d heard about Hell for years and how it’s a must stop. It isn’t. Neat rocks that take maybe 5 minutes to see. Cheap souvenirs. Annoying devil man trying to get you to purchase said souvenirs. Can get passport stamped but thought they’d have a much more creative stamp. Can also mail a postcard from Hell to US from their post office. Tried and ours never came, but somehow the one we sent my sister in law did make it, so you’ll have mixed success. If you like kitschy stuff and cheap souvenirs this is your spot but there’s so many better ways to spend your time in Grand Cayman.

Everybody on the island talks about Hell when you go near (Turtle Center or Dolphin Discovery), and none of the online reviews will prepare you for what a tourist trap this is. It’s an open area of rock formation with a handful of birds and a few tourist info plaques, surrounded by dilapidated “gift”shops. Completely not worth the time unless you 1) are into random roadside attractions (eg, Largest Ball of Twine, Wall Drug), or 2) are in the area and have 15 minutes to kill, if you are not worried about walking on GC roads with no sidewalks. The area does give you a better understanding of GC living beyond the super polished Seven Mile though.

Hell is widely known globally and is feared by millions of catholics around the globe, and unfortunately it just didn't live up to the hype. I felt bored and ripped off, and the devil himself never even payed us a visit. It wasn't all bad, as I did rather enjoy spending some alone time by the jagged rocks, but honestly, hell is overhyped and overrated and definitely doesn't deserve all those mentions in the bibble. Anyways, if your ever near hell and are thinking of paying a visit, I recommend spending your eternity in a place a little more stimulating. xx

Just to say you went to "Hell" and back is worth 1/2 hour to visit. The gift shop is adequate, the small shops are no more pricey than anywhere else and you can find some unique things, as well as seeing the dark limestone formations which can be eerie looking. Don't forget to get your postcard and mail it from there, it'll have a "Hell" postmark!

We got off the Royal Caribbean cruse ship and left the secured area and were met by a woman with a sign that said tour to m7 mile beach, rum cake factory and other areas. The tour was only $30.00 per person. They put us on a small bus that was had air conditioning. The driver Sammy was outstanding and drove us to many areas and he also stopped in front of the governors house. He was very informative and said a couple of times I am going to take you to hell. I thought a fast bus ride But no it was to a small city/place that was named HELL. It was small but very interesting. We got out out and there area some small stores that sell shirts from hell. They had chickens running around. It was very nice. You can get your passport stamped for a dollar from Hell. They had clean bathrooms if needed. The first store owner was very nice and I asked many questions and he answered all of them. The other store owners were also great. The rocks formation in the back looked like you were going into hell. I recommend this stop to all.

We were exploring the island on bikes and this one a spot to check off the list of places to see. We went on a Saturday on a beautiful day. It was empty, so certainly no crowds, but it was attended by anyone either. It is just a painted building, and there is a small deck to view black coral that was once below the surface. There a similar images with a far more beautiful backdrop right along the shoreline. I would skip this all together, unless you get a rainy day, and are there for many days, and have absolutely nothing else to do. We loved Cayman and all it has to offer, but this stop was one I would put at the bottom of the list of places to go to if you only have a few days and want to enjoy the vacation vibe.

I was here 5 years ago also and both times I’ve sent a postcard from hell to people at home but never came. I can understand once but twice now? It was only a dollar but with the amount of people who go there that’s a lot of 1 dollars to scam out of people.

I can’t speak to those confined to guided tours; people in packs tend to ruin an experience. If you rent a car for a week like we do, however, you’re free to enjoy all kinds of off the beaten path attractions, like Hell. After driving the north coast of West Bay, etc., we found Hell and enjoyed its hospitality. No one else there, we were greeted by the daughter of the devil himself, who described their founding (an Englishman), operation and outside distractions in this small space. The unique rock formations out back are fascinating for you geomorphologists. After a picture with the Devil, I addressed 3 postcards to friends back in Canada, which were duly stamped and canceled ‘From Hell’ and posted. If you ask for hot sauce, see what happens. This is a must see on the island.

We will be getting back from a Stingray City excursion around 2:00 pm in Georgetown. Our ship is there until 6:00. If we take the public bus to Hell, 1) does that allow plenty of time for us to visit there and back? and 2) Will we see Seven Mile Beach from the bus? Would like to see a few sites but have limited time after the excursion. Thank you!
Written November 20, 2022
Sorry, I just saw your question. I quite sure that you've find your way. My answer based on my time there is yes, 4 hours would be enough to see the Hell from Georgetown and back in time of your departure at 6 pm. The only thing is depending on the day you go that buses back from Hell to Georgetown. Buses are less on the weekends moreso lesser on Sundays. You will be able to see the 7 mile beach from the bus but with your time, you may not be able to have stop at the beach and enjouy for long. Although, there were so many public beach accesses to the 7-mile beach. Once again, so sorry for the very very late reply. Cheers

Oh, please don't spend your time that way! It is just an interesting thing for a quick stop if you are driving by anyhow -- I would go to the beach, take one of the boat tour options, if you don't want to do the water thing go to the Botanic Garden.

does the store accept USD or credit cards for the postcards & stamps?
Written March 14, 2017
Hi,
The stores accept U.S. currency & credit cards. All the shops in port do as tourists are a huge part of their economy.
