From the Airport to Far Tortuga

Finding your way from Owen Roberts International Airport in George Town, to Far Tortuga, Northside, is easy! Grand Cayman is a small island, there's basically one main road, from one end of the island to the other,and around to Rum Point with a cross over Rd -"Frank Sound Rd"- Far Tortuga is about 22 miles from the airport. There's only one exit road from the airport and rental car plaza, which ends after about one mile at a stop sign. At the stop sign, just beside the post office, turn left, and continue past Foster's Food Fair until the "give way" sign. (In terms of price and variety, Foster's is a good choice in supermarkets, and this may be a good time to shop for groceries. But, about 3.3 miles further along your route on the left, you can also stop at Hurley's Marketplace, in the new Grand Harbour Shopping Centre, surrounded by numerous palms and attractive landscaping. Also, please note that all island supermarkets are closed on Sunday, leaving only a few convenience stores accessible, The supermarkets are all open from 7:00am till 11:00pm, six days a week (closed Sunday), except for a handful of holidays.

After the "give way" sign, keep to the left and follow the road which curves left around the end of the runway.You're now on the main road (the A2) heading east to Bodden Town, East End, Northside, and Rum Point.

The next Market along the way is the new “Fosters Food Fair” in the Savannah “Countryside Shopping Center (6.8 Miles from Airport)

Don't confuse the signs for the district of Bodden Town, which will appear sooner than the town itself. After Pedro, you'll enter the village of Bodden Town (watch out for the 25 mph speed limit signs), and the road curves sharply to the left.Travel through Boddentown on the south coast road Continue through "Breakers" past the Lighthouse Restaurant (15.6 Miles from Airport) -about 1.2 miles,make left onto Frank Sound Rd.
