I'm just wondering if it's worth the trip when we're at Morritt's.

Hell is near the Morrits. Sounds like a fun place.

Yes

and

NO

although we send postcards from Hell to friends and family. Just for the "hell" of it.

Frank it all the way around on the other side of the island. Truely a tourist trap. but if you are at the turtle farm already you may as well.

I assume you mean Hell on Grand Cayman

is it worth making the trip? well, it would be at least an hour's drive from the East End so probably only worth it if you combine with a visit to West Bay and the Turtle Farm.

what's there? from what I remember (and it was 8 years ago so my memory is a bit vague) but there is a car park, a selection of rather tacky (but fun!) gift shops, and a short walk to a viewing platform to view the Hell rock formations - complete with wooden devil statues!

Picture of DS in HELL

From March 2004

Hell, Grand Cayman is a group of short, black, limestone formations in the northwest Grand Cayman town of West Bay. It is roughly the size of half a soccer field, and people are not allowed in amongst the limestone formations; two viewing platforms exist for tourists. There are numerous versions of how Hell received its name, but they are generally variations on "a local official exclaimed, 'This is what Hell must look like.'"

Regardless of how it first came to be called Hell, the name stuck and the area has become something of a tourist attraction, featuring a fire-engine red hell-themed post office from which you can send "postcards from hell", and a gift shop with 'Satan' passing out souvenirs while greeting people with phrases like 'How the hell are you?' and 'Where the hell are you from?'

When I was a mere kid (eons ago), we were visiting friends in Michigan and we went to Hell. We found an abandoned house and wandered through. Now it has it's own website

At least this one is a little closer

I sometimes go to accuweather or weather.com to see if Hell has frozen over, but neither Hell is available.

Hot as hell, cold as hell. Never had a postcard from there, never been there. I know a poster from there tho.

I have been there and it is OVERRATED, but then again, isn't most everything.

If you go, at least have lunch or dinner at the Cracked Conch near the Turtle farm and get their special cracked conch....now that is worth the drive!

The first three pics here in the Grand Cayman Touristy Stuff section are from Hell.

Been there, done that. We usually stay at SMB, so it is not far for us. It is a 15 minute stop max. It is a long drive from Morritts, so, as others have said, only if you are going to be in that area for other reasons.

To the people that have gone to hell. You can now say that you have been to hell and back.
