Cayman Islands: sun-drenched shores welcome you. The Cayman Islands are the ideal spot for the vacationer who seeks to get away from it all-- escaping to breathtaking white sands, shockingly blue waters, and a wealth of world-class scuba diving and snorkeling sites.
An appealing feature of the Cayman Islands is variety. There are lively, tourist-filled, bar-lined beaches and serene, deserted shores. If you're looking for an energetic stretch of sand, head to Seven Mile Beach. Glistening aquamarine tides and an endless stretch of glimmering white sand are lined with mellow restaurants and bars-- relax and bask in the warm rays of the sun while sipping a cool tropical drink. Or pack a picnic and escape to the deserted shores of nearby Owen Island. Here you can unwind on tranquil ivory sands, enjoying the soothing sounds of the sea in absolute privacy.
But don't spend too much time lolling about on land! Plunge beneath the surface of the crystalline waters and take a peek at the spectacular sites below. The Cayman Island's snorkeling and scuba diving sites are widely thought to be some of the best in the Caribbean.
The Cayman Islands also offer great luxury shopping opportunities. Although it's not the shopping monolith that some other Caribbean islands are, its variety of goods including rum, fine jewelry, European crystal, and Cuban cigars shouldn't be overlooked. Further, the Cayman Islands are home to a vibrant local art scene, offering visitors the chance to grab a unique original work.
Though you won't find a cutting-edge culinary scene, you will find a wealth of very good fare from all over the globe, plenty of fresh fish, and a handful of fine restaurants serving exquisite meals.
Stunning beaches, a fascinating underwater world, varied dining options, and luxury shopping all make the Cayman Islands an excellent place to unwind.
