About Grand Cayman
The Cayman Islands is a British Overseas Territory and overseas territory of the European Union located in the western Caribbean Sea, just over one hour by air from Miami, Florida. We are located south of Cuba and northwest of Jamaica.
Grand Cayman is the largest of our three Islands and the location of the territory’s colorful capital, George Town. It’s only about 22 miles long and 8 miles wide at its widest point, but packed with spectacular beaches like the famous Seven Mile Beach, amazing resorts, exhilarating scuba diving and snorkeling opportunities, once-in-a-lifetime experiences, such as the Cayman Turtle Farm and Stingray City, and a world-famous center for offshore banking.
