About George Town, Grand Cayman
Grand Cayman is famous for two things: Stingray City and Seven Mile Beach. Both live up to their reputations. The island is prosperous, clean, and easy to navigate. As a British Overseas Territory, English is the official language and the US dollar is widely accepted. The tender process can be slow — plan accordingly.
What to Do
Stingray City
Shallow sandbar where dozens of Atlantic southern stingrays congregate. You can touch, feed, and swim with them. An extraordinary experience and the defining activity of Grand Cayman.
Seven Mile Beach
One of the Caribbean's most beautiful beaches — 7 miles of powder-white sand and turquoise water. Lined with hotels but public beach access is guaranteed.
Cayman Turtle Centre
Sea turtle conservation and education facility. You can hold baby turtles, snorkel with adult turtles, and learn about conservation efforts.
Rum Point
Quiet, beautiful beach on the north side of the island. Less crowded than Seven Mile Beach. Famous for its Mudslide cocktail.
Snorkeling & Coral Gardens
Excellent snorkeling throughout Grand Cayman, particularly at Coral Gardens and the nearby Marine Park areas.
George Town Shopping
Duty-free shopping near the pier. Known for jewelry — Cayman Islands has no import tax on luxury goods.
Food & Drink
The legendary frozen cocktail at Rum Point — worth the trip out if you visit that beach.
