Cayman Islands Information

The largest of the islands is Grand Cayman, home to George Town, the country’s capital and commercial centre, and famous Seven-Mile Beach (which is really only five and a half miles long), an incredible stretch of powdery white sand where sun worshippers can happily spend their entire vacation. This expanse of beach is lined with luxury accommodations, from low-rise condominiums to full-service resorts, as well as restaurants and small shopping centers.

Cayman Brac, one of the two smaller sister islands 90 miles northeast of Grand Cayman , is known for its dramatic limestone cliff that travels down the centre of its 12-mile length. The other sister island, Little Cayman, is only 12 square miles. Its claim to fame is Bloody Bay Wall, where divers from all over the world come to view a vast range of sea life.

The Cayman Islands are also known for super game fishing.
