Coral reefs, crystal-clear waters, and soft, sandy beaches are just part of what makes the Cayman Islands a natural Caribbean destination for many tourists, either as a distinct travel location or a dot on the map as they make their way around the Caribbean on a cruise.
George Town is perhaps the single most well-known location within the Caymans, located on Grand Cayman itself. This busy capital city is more than just a holiday destination, however. With more than 500 banks the Grand Cayman Island has become known world-wide for its affluent society, although the casinos and wild club venues have managed to stay far away. This may be a high-society area, but it still retains its colonial feel.
Cayman Brac is another popular destination with its maze of sea caves and plentiful offshore wrecks for tourists to dive to. Most people come to this island for the diving, while beach tourists prefer to stick to the main Grand Cayman and the area surrounding George Town.
The Cayman Islands are another British territory. As a result, you do not need a travel visa to come if you are a UK citizen or resident. Simply bring your passport and travel arrangements.
With the variety of wild-life and tropical settings, the Cayman Islands are a natural stopping point for anyone enjoying a Caribbean holiday or cruise. The accommodation is plentiful and travel is as simple as stepping out of the door of your lodging. With the perfect combination of luxury and beauty, it is no wonder the Cayman Islands have become one of the leading Caribbean hotspots over the years.
