Lay out in the sun or go for a swim in the crystal blue waters at Seven Mile Beach. The crescent-shaped beach is consistently ranked among the best in the Caribbean and should absolutely not be missed. The snorkeling there is excellent and there are a number of great bars and restaurants along the beach, as well as some of Cayman’s top resorts.
Nature-lovers will not want to miss Mastic Trail. While walking this historic trail, you will see an incredible variety of plant and animal life, as the trail takes you from thick woods through tropical groves and past impressive “giraffe” trees and the huge yellow Mastic Tree, which lies at the heart of the trail. The area is also home to the famous Cayman Island Parrot.
If you are looking to truly relax and unwind, you should make the trip to the spectacular and secluded beaches of Owen Island, off the south coast of Little Cayman Island. It may be a bit difficult to reach, lying about 89 miles east of Grand Cayman, but that is part of the its attraction as you can hardly find more peaceful and secluded beaches anywhere else in the Cayman Islands.
Cayman Islands offer a number of exciting diving sites, one of the most famous of which is Devil’s Grotto and the adjacent Eden Rock near the Georgetown Harbor. The grotto is formed by corals, which has weaved a complex maze of caves and tunnels under the warm and crystal clear Caribbean water. The shallow reef is ideal for scuba diving as well as snorkeling.

Devil's Grotto
One of the most picture-perfect sites on the island is Pedro St. James, a restored 18th century edifice, which belonged to one of the first settlers of Grand Cayman. The spectacular castle stands atop a limestone bluff and has jaw-dropping views of the Caribbean Sea.
A sure highlight of any trip to the Cayman Islands has to be the Cayman Island Brewery, where the delicious Caybrew is crafted. You will want to call in advance and schedule one of the brewery’s free tours and learn about the brewing process, which takes nearly three weeks. The brewery is eco-friendly and has a system of recycling spent grains by giving it to local farmers for use as cattle feed.
The internationally renowned dive site known as Bloody Bay Wall can be found along the barrier reef on the north shore of Little Cayman Island. You will experience incredible underwater visibility as you explore the rich sea world that surrounds and lives along this natural wall stretching a staggering 6,000ft below the surface! Bloody Bay Wall is an absolute must do for diving enthusiasts.

Experience a thrill like no other at Stingray City in the North Sound on the northwestern corner of Grand Cayman. Along a natural channel cutting through the barrier reef, numerous friendly stingrays scour the sea floor looking for food. Go watch and swim with the stingrays and even feed them if you’re feeling adventurous!
