Grand Cayman Vacation Guide
Grand Cayman is the largest of the three Cayman Islands and is home to George Town. The island is known worldwide for it’s banks. This is also one of the better shopping places in the Caribbean and it is especially known for it’s watches and jewelry.
Similar to the other Caribbean islands, the economy of Grand Cayman relies on tourism a great deal for its survival. Some favorites include Seven Mile Beach, Stingray City, the turtle farm, butterfly garden, the Tortuga Rum Factory (and famous Rum cakes) and Hell.
This is also a great place for diving and snorkeling as the island features many reefs and walls, a few of them are accessible by swimming from the shore. "Stingray City" is a very popular thing to do at Grand Cayman.
Like most islands in the Caribbean, the Caymans were “first sighted” by Christopher Columbus. He spotted this chain on his fourth and final expedition to the New World in 1503. He named the island Las Tortugas in honor of the many sea turtles. It was Sir Francis Drake who renamed the islands to their current name, the Cayman Islands in 1586.
The Cayman Islands are located in the Western Caribbean on an underwater ridge known as the Cayman Trench. Oddly, the islands are not featured on many printed maps.

Pulling into Grand Cayman was quite
suprising. It was unlike any Carribean island I had visited in the past. Gone
were the lush hillsides and ever present were the stores, restaurants, banks and
shipping piers. This is not at all what I expected but I go into everything

I had been to Grand Cayman in the past but was scared of things bigger than me in the ocean, so I thought when I moved to the Island I would ease myself into going to Stingray City, but starting off snorkling, then diving, then Stingray City, but it happened in the opposite order! My fir…
