There are a number of land-based sports available to visitors, including golf, tennis, horseback riding, bicycling, billiards, jogging and hiking. For those interested, the following is a list of useful references.
There are three golf courses on Grand Cayman: the 9-hole Britannia Golf Course (345-949-8020), created by Jack
Nicklaus, The Links at Safehaven (345-949-5988), a championship 18-hole course, and the new
one at the Ritz-Carlton hotel.
Whether you're a first time visitor to the beautiful Cayman Islands or a
seasonal resident, horseback riding is one of the most popular activities to
enjoy during your stay. If you love the outdoors, nature & horses then this
one's for you! We offer scenic rides along the beach, through woodland trails, a
romantic moonlight ride, and we even do children's parties. Rides
available on Bodden Town beach, just a couple of hundred feet from the Inn.

The Mastic Trail, part of the Mastic Reserve, is two miles long, takes about 2½ to 3 hours, and is ideal for hiking in Cayman's
wild interior. The woodland, evolved undisturbed for the last 2 million years, offers a rich abundance of birds, rare trees and
animals, with guided walks available daily. Call Geddes Hislop of Silver Thatch Excursions at (345) 945-6588, or e-mail him
at silvert@hotmail.com for more information about a guided tour. Geddes has a degree in Wildlife Biology, and really knows
his stuff. For joggers, Beach Bay Road, near Turtle Nest Inn, is a route followed regularly by those wanting a good surface
with little traffic. And, of course, there's the beach almost all around Grand Cayman, with public access guaranteed
everywhere.
Bicycle rentals are available on Grand Cayman, at Cayman Cycle Rentals, at (345) 945-4021, or Soto's Scooters & Cars, at
