Location Information:
The
Cayman Islands is a British Overseas
Territory located in the western
Caribbean Sea. The territory
comprises the islands of Grand
Cayman, Cayman Brac, and Little
Cayman, located south of Cuba and
northwest of Jamaica. The territory
is a major offshore financial centre
in the Caribbean.
One of
Grand Cayman's (GCM) main
attractions is Seven Mile Beach, on
which a number of the island's
hotels and resorts are located.
Historical sites in GCM, such as
Pedro St. James Castle in BoddenTown,
also attract visitors. Tourists also
visit the Sister Islands, Little
Cayman and Cayman Brac
All three islands offer scuba
diving, and the Caymans are home to
several snorkeling locations, where
tourists can swim with stingrays
(including Stingray City, Grand
Cayman). There are two shipwrecks
off the shores of Cayman Brac,
including the MV Keith Tibbetts.
Other Grand Cayman tourist
attractions include the Ironshore
landscape of Hell, the 23-acre
(93,000 m2) marine theme park
Boatswain's Beach, also home of the
Cayman Turtle Farm, the production
of gourmet sea salt, and the Mastic
Trail, a hiking trail through the
forests in the centre of the island.
The National Trust for the Cayman
Islands provides guided tours weekly
on the Mastic Trail and other
