The largest of the Cayman Islands pairs powder white Seven Mile Beach with some of the clearest, calmest snorkeling and diving water in the Caribbean.
Why Visit Grand Cayman
Seven Mile Beach consistently ranks among the best beaches in the Caribbean, its calm, clear water and soft sand backed by resorts and restaurants. Stingray City, a series of sandbars where wild southern stingrays gather, offers one of the most unusual wildlife encounters in the region, letting visitors wade among and touch the gentle rays. The island’s stable economy and British overseas territory status have made it one of the most developed and easily navigated islands in the Caribbean.
