This unique attraction on Grand Cayman has a patch of black, razor-sharp rock called "ironshore." It looks out of place there, away from the ocean, and that's probably how Hell got its name. Of course, the town is popular as the place where you can mail postcards from Hell. If you're on the northwestern part of the island, it's worth a stop.
Nearby is Boatswain's Beach, home of the Cayman Island Turtle Farm, one of the biggest tourist attractions on the island. The farm has undergone a multimillion-dollar redevelopment and is now located across the road from the original waterfront location. Founded in the late 1960s by a marine biologist, the farm is now government-operated. Its large saltwater tanks are full of green sea turtles in all stages of development. Some of the descendants of the islands' original, hard-shelled inhabitants are released into the sea each year as a way of replenishing the wild population, and others are fattened up for turtle steaks. The Turtle Farm also keeps a few iguanas and parrots.
