When one thinks of the Cayman Islands and Grand Cayman, thoughts of  offshore bank accounts and wild, James Bond boat chases come to mind. But that is not all the island has to offer!  Grand Cayman is a beautiful, well-developed island with friendly locals and long, coral-sand beaches stretching as far as the eye can see. The most famous of these is Seven Mile Beach, a five-and-a-half mile stretch (go figure) of white sand bordered on the land side by tall Casuarina trees. Though most of the island’s hotels and resorts are located along this beach, it is carefully preserved and open to the public allowing you to walk the entire length if you like.  George Town is the capital and major city, where nearly half of the island’s population resides. This is the home for the cruise ships who pull into port (or tender), the shopping districts, clubs and bars, and the National Museum.
