Description

The Cayman Shoe Tree by TL Wilson Photography

This tourist attraction on Grand Cayman has an interesting history.

After Hurricane Ivan in 2004, a couple noticed that on some remote beaches, there was trash. Often, that trash was shoes/flipflops/etc. So they collected a few hundred at various locations (remember, Ivan was a nasty storm, so lots of debris went out to sea and is coming back to shore) and then one night, to make a statement, nailed them to a large dead tree on South Church street, where many motorists pass every day. Since then, people have been adding shoes and it has become a bit of a tourist photo op. There is even a Facebook Page dedicated to it. Search for Shoe Tree on Facebook.
