xiao_tuzi: This one has run its course, unfortunately. It is time to retire it. This is a great little spot, and maybe we will do a new cache there in years to come!

Geocache Description:

Welcome to Prospect Point. This cache should be fairly easy. Be sure to bring a pen!


You are now passing through what is thought to be the site of the first settlement on Grand Cayman, although there is little to see today. Settlers established a fort and an outpost here sometime in the latter half of the 1700s -- "ancient history" in Caymanian terms. You can see a little monument marking the site of Prospect Fort, the oldest fort on the island. The village, which lies to the immediate east of Red Bay Road along Prospect Point Road, has been mostly abandoned since 1932. The village's church, opening onto the coast, was left to decay. Nearby, the Watler Family Cemetery dates from the 1800s and is under the protection of the National Trust. The cemetery is open to the public and you can still see the gravestones -- some curiously shaped like small homes. Caymanians called these family plots "Gardens of Memories." Of interest to most visitors is the good sandy beach lying just around the point at Prospect. Both divers and snorkelers are drawn to the beach and sea here. Beach shelters and public toilets are available.

 

This cache is a nano. Your geosenses should lead you right to it!
