Be prepared though – there are literally millions of bats here, and their guano too.

Situated two miles north of the capital St. Georges on the west coast of the island of Grenada, Moilinere Bay is the home to sixty-five creepy underwater sculptures by artist Jason de Caires Taylor.

Hell in the Caymen Islands

Has anyone ever told you to go to Hell? Well, you should go to hell. It’s a group of short, black, limestone formations located in West Bay in Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands.  Viewing platforms are ready for you to catch a glimpse of this otherworldly phenomenon. Roughly about the size of a football field. no one can quite agree on how Hell got its name, but most believe it’s when one local official – viewing the formations for the first time -- exclaimed, “This is what Hell must look like.” The area also features a Satan selling souvenirs, and a hell-themed post office where you can send postcards “from hell.”
