Grand Cayman, Little Cayman and Cayman Brac are the three islands that make up the Cayman Islands group which is south of Cuba and just west of Jamaica. Georgetown is the capital city and commercial center for the island and is situated on Grand Cayman.

The three islands are very different from one another and the reasons people come to these islands are just as varied. To snorkelers and divers the Caymans are an absolute nirvana. To investors these islands offer a first-class tax haven with a wealth of offshore banks. For the pleasure-seeking tourist, Grand Cayman offers a plethora of top-notch hotels, resorts, and restaurants situated along famous Seven-Mile Beach with its incredible white sandy beach and palm trees. Georgetown is also one of the top duty-free shopping destinations in the Caribbean. The cruise ships also make port in Georgetown. English is the official language here and the U.S. dollar is the standard currency.
Little Cayman and Cayman Brac are located 40 miles northeast of Grand Cayman. They can both be reached by ferry boats or small planes. These islands deal mainly with tourists who want seclusion and the best snorkeling and diving on the planet. With the highest per capita income in the Caribbean, these islands are clean and safety is of no concern.
