The Cayman Islands are a British Crown Colony comprised
of three islands: Grand Cayman, Cayman Brac and Little Cayman. The temperature
averages 79 degrees Fahrenheit throughout the year and is conducive to the many
outdoor activities that have made the Cayman Islands a paradise, particularly
for visitors who enjoy scuba diving, snorkeling, sea angling and sailing. Seven
Mile Beach, one of the finest in the Caribbean, has an abundance of hotels and
condominiums offering accommodations overlooking the beach or within walking
distance. Also, Grand Cayman features over 150 different restaurants,
including local, Continental and American cuisine. Tourism, offshore banking
and finance are the island's main income source. The islands are extremely
clean, attractive and virtually crime-free.
Grand Cayman covers 76 square miles, Cayman Brac has an area of 15 square
miles, and Little Cayman is only 11 square miles. Altogether, there is a
population of 32,000.
