Right off the coast of Rum Point, take a quick boat trip to Grand Cayman's Stingray City, where you get the once-in-a-lifetime chance to swim with and feed stingrays on a sandbar in the middle of the ocean.

Sneak away from Grand Cayman and head to sister island Cayman Brac for an off-the-beaten-path experience. Whether you're in it for the world-class diving or the secluded beach life, make sure to get a taste of the freshest local fare at farm-to-table resort Le Soleil d'Or.

Perched on a bluff overlooking the water, Le Soleil d'Or has managed to turn 20 acres of rocky limestone into a robust organic farm, growing everything from local fruits like sorrel to every herb under the sun (literally). And it has a coop full of chickens, to boot.

Le Soleil's harvest includes everything from tomatoes and eggplant to Scotch bonnet peppers—and the haul is for more than just eating. The fresh produce also makes its way onto the cocktail menu, so do your due diligence and get your fruits and veggies in liquid form.

The farm-to-table movement isn't just for the resort bound. Chefs and restaurants across the islands are getting in on the action with their own backyard farms, like this one on the property of local favorite The Brasserie.

The Brasserie chef Dean Max uses locally sourced seafood and produce grown on-site through the restaurant's seasonal dishes, like this grilled wahoo with coconut jasmine rice, garden long beans, roasted local peppers, callaloo, herbed coconut broth and pea shoots.

In the mood for something fancy? Get a taste of Michelin-starred chef Eric Ripert's incredible seafood right at the source at his restaurant, Blue. Fans of chef Ripert will recognize the menu's Almost Raw, Barely Touched and Lightly Cooked setup from NYC favorite Le Bernardin.

If cocktails are your thing, plan your trip around the annual Cayman Cookout and get in on the mixology action with classes from some of the nation's top bartenders, like James Beard Award winner Charles Joly and The Punch Room's Bob Peters.

Still thirsty? Grand Cayman is home to the Cayman Islands Brewery, where you can tour and taste your way through local craft beers. If you've still got your sea legs post-brewery, check out the Cayman Spirits Co. distillery, where you can go behind the scenes for a taste of the island's signature spirit: rum.

Saint Archer's newly remodeled tasting room is open seven days a week with a rotating tap list featuring the latest brews. If you get hungry, hit up the food trucks that usually set up shop outside.

Saint Archer offers a small series of unique barrel-aged beers called Tusk & Grain, which includes a tequila and bourbon coffee porter with Mexican chocolate and a coconut stout.

Ballast Point

Ballast Point might be San Diego's most popular brewery, and with almost 90 beers to its name and a large, boisterous tasting room, it's easy to see why.

Ballast Point’s philosophy is "doing what we love and making what we love to drink." In that spirit, all its beers are named after a shared interest: fishing. The labels also showcase vibrant illustrations as a reminder to "always do what you love."

Two large copper kettles, originally discovered in a brewery in Lohr, Germany, are the centerpieces of Ballast Point's new headquarters.

Green Flash Brewing Co.

A San Diego staple, Green Flash offers hourly tours around the brewery, taking visitors through each step of the in-depth brewing process. The best part? Every stop on the tour is paired with a beer sample.

To keep fans thirsty for more, Green Flash consistently produces experimental, limited-edition and seasonal offerings in addition to its solid lineup of longtime favorites.

The tasting room is home to a large bar with an ever-changing tap lineup and is stacked to the ceiling with colorful Green Flash can palettes.
