Diversions Galore in the Caymans
Scenic attractions like the beautiful Seven Mile Beach and several hiking trails like the Mastic Trail on Grand Cayman draw tourists and visitors from all over the world to the Cayman Islands
The largest of the three Cayman Islands, Grand Cayman is an ideal destination for family vacations. Scenic attractions like the Queen Elizabeth II Botanic Park with its walking trail and colorful gardens offer visitors a look at some of the best fauna and flora in the Caymans. Pedro St. James Historic site, Stingray City and the Turtle Farm are other popular sites among visitors. Several gourmet restaurants and dive operators along Seven Mile Beach are within easy reach of guests of luxury resorts on the beach.
The lagoons on Little Cayman Island are not only a scenic attraction for the abundant avian life found here but the fish in the brackish waters beckon anglers interested in fly-fishing and light tackle. Fishing enthusiasts can hope to catch permit, bonefish and small tarpon. Known for the incredible variety of corals and fish in the waters surrounding the island, Little Cayman is a favorite destination among divers and snorkeling enthusiasts. Another scenic attraction on this island is the Booby Pond Nature Reserve, the largest breeding and nesting ground for the red footed booby and other endemic species of birds and migratory birds.

Cayman Brac too has its own Parrot Reserve, where bird watching and hiking are possible. Rock climbing on the near vertical face of the bluff is a challenging one with several bolted routes for experienced climbers. Exploring the small towns such as Cotton Tree Bay, Spot Bay, and Watering Place is another option for visitors. Cave exploration in Peter’s Cave, Halfway Ground Cave and Rebecca’s Cave, can be an unusual diversion too.
