Information on Stingray City |
One of the largest tourist attractions in the world, Stingray City is in 12 feet of water and mainly, but not exclusively, visited by scuba divers. The site was first noticed about ten years ago, when fishermen came to the calmer, shallower waters just over the reef to clean their fish. Soon they noticed stingrays, scavengers by nature, hanging around the boats inhaling any leftovers they could get their suckers on. Next, some particularly brave divemasters got in the water to hand-feed them, and before long the stingrays had become tame, almost pet-like. Today, you can swim under, over, and along with the rays! Their favorite food is squid, which you can feed them by hand! At Stingray sandbar, which is only waist deep, you can use a mask and snorkel and watch the rays swarm around you, brushing their velvety bellies against your hands and feet. Don't worry: this is the rays' way of begging for food!

Information on Crow's Nest |
|
With a boardwalk and terrace jutting onto the sands, this informal restaurant has a view of both Sand Cay and a nearby lighthouse. It's on the island's southwesternmost tip, a 4-minute drive from George Town. The restaurant is one of those places that evokes the Caribbean "the way it used to be." There's no pretense here-you get good, honest Caribbean cooking. Try a daily special or perhaps sweet, tender Caribbean lobster. Other dishes include grilled tuna steak with ackee and Jamaican chicken curry with roast coconut. For dessert, try the banana toffee pie…if it's available!

In 1979, the government purchased Mr. Ira's collection which became the nucleus of the National Museum collection. Today, the Museum's collection contains over 4,000 items ranging from tiny coins to a 14-foot catboat, natural history specimens to rare documents.

Information on Hell |
|
Been to Hell? - Well if your going to Grand Cayman you can! Take the family over to Hell, Grand Cayman located near West Bay. This unique site features ancient rock formations that have created a haunting landscape appropriately named 'Hell'. Hell's intriguing formation, which resembles the charred remains of a hell fire, is weathered from rock called iron shore. Common around the island, but in less dramatic form, iron shore has been estimated at 1.5 million years old. The formation, which looks like volcanic rock, is actually made up of very hard limestone, at one time snow white, now blackened by a surface coating of the algae which are secreting acid and eroding the rock into these unusual shapes.
