Vacationers appreciate the mellow civility of the Cayman Islands, and Grand Cayman's exceptional Seven Mile Beach has more than its share of fans. One of the Caribbean's best stretches of sand, it's more than enough reason to visit. Divers come to explore the pristine reefs or perhaps to swim with friendly stingrays. Grand Cayman's historic capital of George Town, on the southeast corner of Grand Cayman, is easy to explore on foot. If you're a shopper, you can spend days here; otherwise, an hour will suffice for a tour of the downtown area. The less-developed East End has natural attractions from blowholes to botanical gardens, as well as the remains of the island's original settlements.
