Cayman Islands Travel Guide

The Cayman Islands are an island group in the Caribbean Sea. The territory comprises the three islands of Grand Cayman, Cayman Brac, and Little Cayman, located south of Cuba and northwest of Jamaica. The Cayman Islands are considered to be part of the geographic Western Caribbean Zone as well as the Greater Antilles.

Each of the three Cayman Islands is quite different in personality with unique appeal. The three islands have the most affluent lifestyles in the Caribbean, matched with stunning beaches and exciting watersports.

Grand Cayman

Visitors are drawn to Grand Cayman, the largest island of the British Overseas Territory, by the quality of lifestyle and the friendliness of the Caymanian community as well as the white sand of Seven Mile Beach, an unspoilt, empty coastline stretching as far as the eyes can see, also rated as one of the most beautiful beaches in the entire Caribbean. The island is a high–lying reef of "ironshore", limestone fringes with numerous marine fossils, with a highest elevation of roughly 79 feet (24 meters) above sea level.

Grand Caymans most striking feature is the shallow, reef protected lagoon known as the North Sound which is approximately 35 square miles, and is home to Stingray City, a series of shallow sandbars. It is one of Grand Caymans biggest tourist attractions, as southern stingrays are found in abundance and visitors can feed, pet, and interact with the animals. At Stingray City, which is only waist deep, you can use a mask and snorkel and watch the rays swarm around you, brushing their velvety bellies against your hands and feet.

Cayman Brac and Little Cayman are examples of true, wild Caribbean, about as romantic and off the beaten track as it is possible to get.

Cayman Brac

Cayman Brac is about 12 miles (19 km) long, with an average width of 1.25 (2 km), making the total area of the Island approximately 14.7 mi.2 (38 km2). Its terrain is the most spectacular of the three Cayman Islands. "The Bluff", a massive central limestone outcrop, rises steadily along the length of the island up to 140 feet (43 m) above the sea at the eastern end. The island is named after this prominent feature "brac," which is a Gaelic name for a bluff.

Little Cayman

Little Cayman is the smallest of the three Cayman Islands, both in area and population. It is located in the Caribbean Sea, about 87 miles (140 km) northeast of Grand Cayman and 5 miles (8 km) west of Cayman Brac. Little Cayman has a permanent population of less than 170 and is less than 10 square miles in area, about 10 miles (16 km) long and 1 mile (1.6 km) wide. Most of the island is at sea level with the highest point of elevation being about 40 ft (12 m). Little Cayman is famous for its scuba diving. The most famous dive site areas, Bloody Bay and Jackson's Bight, are both located on the north side of the island, just west of its midpoint. Bloody Bay is consistently ranked as one of the world's top wall dives with the ocean floor.

The Cayman Islands are home to hundreds of different dive sites that will allow you to immerse yourself in the natural beauty and aquatic life that fill the Caribbean oceans that surround the islands. The outstanding coral reefs and outstandingly clear waters have made this island group a favourite destination of divers and the islands are justly reputed for having some of the worlds best diving whether you are wanting to view some of the most amazing and beautiful marine life, or explore ship wreckage at the bottom of the sea, there are over 300 sites and wrecks, more than 50 close to the shore. The spectacular underwater visibility makes the Cayman Islands ideal for snorkelling too.

The islands are a haven for wildlife and birds. Visitors can explore miles of walking trails, a turtle and marine park and 65 acres of the finest botanical gardens in the Caribbean.
