Although the Cayman Islands are best known as an offshore financial haven, they also are a popular vacation destination for water lovers, divers, and snorkelers. Among the three islands, Grand Cayman offers visitors the most varied selection of vacation home rentals. Accommodations include luxury beachfront villas, resort-like condos, beachside bungalows, budget-friendly diver cottages, and high-rise apartments.
Caribbean cuisine
Often called the culinary capital of the Caribbean, Grand Cayman truly has something for everyone. Seafood is, by far, the most abundant of dishes. You'll find traditional Caribbean fare, such as turtle soup and conch stew, as well as Indian, Spanish, and Asian restaurants. To eat like a local, go to Vivine's Kitchen on the East End. The restaurant features home-cooked meals, made with locally grown ingredients and regional spices and herbs.
Beach fish shacks are the most budget-friendly eateries and offer daily fresh-caught seafood from local fishermen. Upscale dining options and bars are found in the heart of Georgetown. There, you'll find Michelin-starred steak and seafood restaurants, exotic Indian and Moroccan eateries, and bars with extensive offerings.
Take a dive into history
The Cayman Islands National Museum, located in the capital city of Georgetown, is the oldest public building in the islands. The museum houses two permanent exhibition galleries and three traveling galleries, one of which is designed for children.
The Natural History Gallery takes visitors on a submarine dive to see the famous Cayman wall, a sea turtle nesting area, and wetlands, where you'll see wildlife unique to the island. The Cultural History Gallery features themed exhibits, mock court trials, and island pioneer displays.
Kid-approved Cayman

Ocean guides narrate as you peer through the portholes during the 90-minute tour.
