Grand Cayman

Grand Cayman is the largest of the three islands in the Cayman Islands. George Town is the largest city and capital of the Cayman Islands. Grand Cayman's Seven Mile beach is one of the finest beaches in the world.

There is a range of activities to do in Grand Cayman. Entertainment goes from catching a flick at the Hollywood Theaters at Camana Bay(a town center) to eating at many local or internationally known restaurants. You may want to go to the beaches such as Seven Mile Beach(home to famous hotels such as the Ritz Carlton, Hyatt, and many others) or Coewood Beach in Bodden Town. Go kayaking or snorkeling, and go on many different submarines.

The main attractions are Little cayman and the nearby region known as Hell's Gate N.P. because of its moonscape of black lava. The coast is filled with 200-year old lanes and foodpaths where you'll see a catalog of the islands architecture ranging from gingerbread cottages to wattle-and-daub cabins.

A must-see attraction is Stingray City. This is a submerged sandbar just off the coast of the isalnd, reachable by one of the many tourist boats that operate excursions on a daily basis. Once there, you can hop off the boat into waist-high water (shoulder-hieight for the kids) and snorkel with the friendly stingrays. Shuffle your feet in the sand to avoid stepping on one and geting accidentally stung! Even non-snorkellers can enjoy this activity. Tourist guide boats will often help you "catch" and hold a stingray for an unforgettable photo opportunity. Sounds like a tourist trap but actually and unmissable stop-off!
