Home to most of the three islands' 50,000 residents, Grand Cayman is your best bet for land-based activities and nightlife. Grand Cayman offers the famous Seven Mile Beach, where you can relax, stroll and swim with seemingly endless beaches. Take a stroll through the Queen Elizabeth II Botanic Park, or even visit Hell--the million-year-old blackened shards of rock on the island's West Bay.
Every imaginable water sport and water recreation activity, including Jet Skiing, snorkeling, diving and windsurfing, plus a host of land activities can be found on the islands.
To avoid the waves of tourists, sail to Little Cayman (which has fewer than 200 local residents) for seclusion. From Little Cayman, you can row to the nearby deserted Omar Island. Chances are you might have the island and beach to yourself, so relax and enjoy nature in peace. If you desire something more active, Bloody Bay and Jackson Point on Little Cayman offer more than 50 dive sites.
The focal point of Cayman Brac's landscape is the limestone bluff. On the bluff you can go bird watching and possibly spot the endangered Cayman Brac Parrot at the Parrot Reserve. Explore caves such as Peter's Cave, which offers views of the island, and Rebecca's Cave, which was historically a hurricane shelter for the island's residents. You can dive off the coast of Cayman Brac, and there are several shipwrecks to explore. Visit the Cayman Brac Museum in Stake Bay if you are interested in a little history.
