The majority of the islanders live on Grand Cayman. The marine flora and fauna of the largest of the three islands is extremely diverse and the coral reefs for diving. The 6 km long stone wall (also known as Grand Cayman’s Great Wall) in Bodden Town was originally built to protect against pirates. Seven Mile Beach is the largest holiday resort, hotel buildings are subject to strict controls and fit on the whole well into the landscape. Close by is the Cayman Turtle Farm. Several thousand young turtles into the wild each year are exposed to replenish the local inventory.

Georgetown

Georgetown is the capital of the Cayman Islands. With its shops and duty-free shops Georgetown is one of the most important shopping centers Caribbean. Newest tourist attraction is the 24-acre Queen Elizabeth II Botanic Garden, which is exclusively devoted to the species-rich native flora.

Cayman Brac

Cayman Brac has fewer than 2,500 inhabitants. The name of Brac (Gaelic for bluff) refers to a huge cliff that rises from the sea here. Cayman Brac lies 143 km northeast of Grand Cayman, is about 19 km long and not more than 1.5 km wide. Divers can explore the wrecks of sunken ships here. The bird reserve is worth a visit. Cayman Brac is the treasure island of the same children’s book by RL Stevenson.

Little Cayman

Little Cayman is 11 miles southeast of Cayman Brac and has only 170 inhabitants. Numerous species of birds and iguanas live on the island, just 16 miles long and 3 miles wide.
