Grand Cayman offers Seven Mile Beach, the famous stingrays of Stingray City and some of the clearest snorkeling water in the Caribbean.
George Town is the capital of the Cayman Islands, located on the west coast of Grand Cayman. It is a tender port, so ships anchor offshore and tenders bring you right to the downtown waterfront.
Grand Cayman is clean, safe and easy to explore, with calm turquoise water and great beaches. It is a favorite for families, snorkelers and anyone who wants a beautiful beach day.
