Cayman Islands

The Cayman Islands combine classic Caribbean beach life with some of the best diving in the region. Seven Mile Beach on Grand Cayman is the main draw, a long stretch of white sand lined with resorts, while nearby reefs and wrecks like the USS Kittiwake attract divers from around the world. Stingray City, a shallow sandbar where wild southern stingrays gather, is one of the islands' signature experiences. As a major offshore financial center, Grand Cayman also has a more polished, developed feel than many of its Caribbean neighbors.
