The Cayman Islands – Grand Cayman, Cayman Brac and Little Cayman – are situated just a short distance off the eastern tip of the U.S., between Cuba and Jamaica. Just a 90-minute flight from Miami, travelers booking Cayman Islands flights arrive in Grand Cayman and are welcomed with sugar-white sand beaches, a bustling city center, and a decadent nightlife scene. Grand Cayman is home to 500 banks and some of the best beaches in the world. Those travelers looking for peace and quiet, and no Blackberry access, should head to Little Cayman or Cayman Brac. Both islands are located just 70 miles from Grand Cayman and are touted as being more relaxed and laid-back than the main island.
The Cayman Islands remain a British territory and are still under British rule, but one look around this island will show massive U.S. influence. Thanks to the booming tourism this country sees every year, the Cayman Islands continue to thrive and function in business, real estate, and beaches. So long as tourists continue booking flights to the Cayman Islands, the pristine beaches and bustling business center will continue to flourish, making the Cayman Islands a year-round destination for any traveler.

Getting around Cayman Islands
Taxis are available on Grand Cayman and there is also a public minibus. The bus service was only recently started; it is a cheap and fun way of traveling round the island. There are designated bus stops, but the easiest way to get on board is simply wave your arm when you see a bus coming. All buses have blue number plates. However, hiring a car is the easiest and quickest way of getting about. On the other two islands it is the only option.

Cayman Islands Travel Information
- One of the many reasons people visit the Cayman Islands is for the excellent diving. Some of the best can be found at Bloody Bay Marine Park, off the north shore of Little Cayman.
- Seven Mile Beach is the main beach on Grand Cayman and a beautiful expanse of white sand. However, it is extremely popular with tourists and the first place many of the cruise ship passengers head for. Try Rum Point instead, where the shallow waters are ideal for children and the facilities include changing areas, volleyball nets and hammocks on the beach in which you can easily while away an afternoon sipping on a cocktail from the beach bar.
- There is plenty to do for sports lovers even above the waves. Backpacking, hiking, kayaking, golfing and bird watching are all on offer across the three islands. Queen Elizabeth II Botanic Park on Grand Cayman is a good place to trek.
- Grand Cayman may seem like a paradise, but it’s also home to Hell. An area containing black lava formations is named Hell, and, for this reason alone, many tourists visit. However, most report that it is a disappointing trip – except for the novelty of sending mail from the post office there. Who wouldn’t want to receive a postcard from Hell?
- The Cayman Islands are a very popular destination for weddings and honeymoons. A combination of white sand beaches, palm trees and almost guaranteed sunshine make for a romantic destination to tie the knot. You don’t have to opt for a beach wedding, it’s also possible to have the ceremony in a small chapel or church. Just make sure the legal requirements are in place beforehand. Unlike many popular foreign wedding destinations, you don’t need to have spent any time on the island before the ceremony – even if you step off a cruise ship you can get married on the same day. However, you do need a marriage license, proof of citizenship, proof of marital status and two witnesses. There is an excellent section on weddings and honeymoons on the official Cayman Islands tourist Web site, which has all the information you need.
