Blowholes on Grand Cayman

I read about them but haven't heard anyone mention anything about seeing the blowholes on Grand Cayman. Are they not worthing seeing? They sound kind of interesting.

I'm only aware of one blowhole on Grand Cayman. Yes, it's worth seeing. If you've never seen one before, it's impressive especially if a big swell flows in.

I am gonna try moving this thread to the Cayman Islands forum, in hopes that more people who have been there will see it.

I never knew there was a blow hole in GC, we do more water excursions, that usually include going to the town of "Hell" but if you enjoy that kind of thing it would be worth it to see I'm sure, GC is a very beautiful island!

Here's a little blurb about Blowholes that I found on the following website:
http://www.caymanislands.ky/attractions/


Blowholes
A blowhole is a cavity formed in the ground at the inland end of a sea cave.

Blowholes are created by the water moving through natural tunnels cut in the rock by the coast. As the tunnels get closer to the coast, they turn upwards, creating a fountain. This can create quite a spectacular show when the weather conditions are right. In Grand Cayman the Blow holes are located on Frank sound road on your way to the Eastern Districts. In Cayman Brac you can find them scattered Island wide. The best time to watch the show is during a nor’wester in the winter months.
