Cayman Islands
Nestled in the calm, turquoise waters of the western Caribbean, lies the peaceful British Overseas Territory known as the Cayman Islands. Three islands just 480 miles south of Miami… Grand Cayman, Cayman Brac, and Little Cayman still remain our little piece of paradise. The three low-lying Cayman Islands are actually the peaks of an underwater mountain rage, making the world below the crystal waters a spectacular place to explore. Waters teeming with fish, sun-kissed beaches and some of the best diving and snorkelling in the world.
Grand Cayman
If you want to dance the night away, explore a sunken wreck, or simply go sightseeing, Grand Cayman is the place to start.
Grand Cayman is the home of George Town, the capital city, which boasts some of the finest cuisine and shopping in the Caribbean.
A long stretch of white sand known as the ‘Seven Mile Beach’ rated as one of the most beautiful beaches in the Caribbean is just one of the many attractions of Grand Cayman.
Imagine sipping a cocktail in a hammock on a beach, shaded by Casuarina trees at Rum Point.
Visit the natural tropical park, Cayman Turtle Farm which is the only one of its kind in the world. It is home to over 16,000 sea turtles ranging in size from six ounces to six-hundred pounds each.
Queen Elizabeth 11 Botanic Park which opened on 27th February, 1994, which is a 65-acre Heritage Garden in Frank Sound.
Visit Hell…and send a postcard this natural expanse of jagged black rock will make your skin crawl, or simply take a dip in the crystal clear sea, you will never be short of things to do in Grand Cayman.
Little Cayman
Little Cayman is the least developed of the trio. With a population of less than 170, most of this Island remains uninhabited. Only 10 miles long and a mile wide, yet it still offers that rare combination of sun-blessed solitude, glistening beaches, and miles of tropical wilderness.
Exceptional fishing can be done here, and Tarpon Pond is always filled with small, but feisty, game fish. The famous Bloody Bay and Jackson Point, are the main attractions for diving, and are one of the world’s truly legendary dive sites: the sheer coral wall begins at 20 ft and plunges to 6000 ft.
Coral gardens, wavering sea plumes and exotic tropical fish thrive here.
Little Cayman also has the largest known breeding colony of the Red Footed Booby and the only breeding colony of magnificent Frigate Birds.
Cayman Brac
"Brac" is the Gaelic word for bluff, the Brac’s dominant natural attraction, a limestone ridge which rises gradually from the west along the center of the Island to 140 ft at the eastern tip, plunging dip into the Caribbean below. Cayman Brac, rugged and yet still retains the charm and friendliness of a traditional seafaring community.
The population of fewer than 1300, take pride in their homeland and enjoy sharing it with visitors. Small towns have names like Cotton Tree Bay, Watering Place and Creek Bay, they have year round tropical flowers, and a special peacefulness.
In Cayman Brac, diving is what attracts most people to this small Island. The newest attraction for divers is the wreck of the 330ft M/V Captain Keith Tibbets, a Cuban naval frigate which sunk in September 1996.
Onshore, attractions include the Cayman Brac Museum at Stake Bay, nature trails, caves, and the delightful local people. |
