Destination Caribbean: Cayman Islands

Just the mention of the Cayman Islands conjures up their importance as a banking center and all the negative connotations that go along with it. But the Cayman Islands is actually a spectacular place to visit. It’s especially great for those who love diving. Even if it’s just lounging on the beaches, it’s possible to make some lasting memories. Read on to find out if the Cayman Islands is a match for your next get away from reality!

If you are coming to dive, you can choose from the 240 dive sites that are available around Grand Cayman. I would recommend diving and seeing Stingray City. This means basically being surrounded by the large amounts of stingrays that flock to the area around this 12 foot dive. Always do your research and go with a reputable diving tour operator. This is something that a travel agent can help with, especially since many may already know some right off the bat. There may be some requirements that you may need to take care of before your arrival. Check this out to make sure there aren’t any surprises and you can still enjoy your diving excursions.

If you’d rather stay on the beach sunning yourself, there’s no better place than the Seven Mile Beach. This area can also be found on the Grand Cayman. Here, wade and swim in the clear water before choosing which bar or restaurant to rest at.

Cayman Brac is one of the three islands that make up this destination. Catch the views from the bluff or brac and take gorgeous pictures to share back home! Hike through the many trails found on this island and try to get a glimpse of the Brac Parrot, which is an endangered species.

If you’re looking for seclusion and total relaxation, Little Cayman is the island for you! The beaches here are certainly more private than the Seven Mile Beach. There’s even a much smaller deserted island named Owen Island. You have to row out to Owen Island but the time together would be worth it. Just note that this island is more for those couples looking for some romance and privacy than can be found on Grand Cayman and Cayman Brac.

Seclusion, the beauty of tropical islands, romance, and beaches. These are the words that you’ll associate the Cayman Islands with once you’ve visited. Whatever you come to find, you’ll find it and more!
