Of the flora, a good representation of the variety of plant life on Grand Cayman can be found at the Queen Elizabeth II Botanic Park located in the North Side District.

Elsewhere outside the park, all of these species can be seen around Grand Cayman, including coconut palms, Casuarina pines, mangroves, and poinciana trees.

Fauna seen in various locations around the island include the endangered blue iguana (Cyclura lewisi), Grand Cayman amazon parrots (Amazona leucocephala caymanensis), Central American agoutis (Dasyprocta punctata), a species of land crab called Gecarcinus ruricola, and the island was one also the homes of the extinct Grand Cayman thrush.

The Cayman racer snake carries a mild venom which it uses to immobilise prey, but in large enough doses it can cause significant swelling and bruising if it latches on for an extended period.

Watersports such as scuba diving and snorkeling are popular activities on Grand Cayman as the island is known for its coral reefs and underwater sea walls along with a number of shipwrecks.

Electrical service for Grand Cayman is provided by Caribbean Utilities Company Ltd., with its corporate headquarters located on North Sound Road.
