Holiday in George Town

What makes George Town special as a destination?

George Town is the capital of the Cayman Islands and combines Caribbean island charm with the flair of an international financial center — more than 100,000 companies are registered here, despite the islands having only 70,000 residents. But George Town is much more than banks: the city offers some of the best diving and snorkeling spots in the Caribbean. Seven Mile Beach, right by the city, is one of the most famous beaches in the Caribbean: 9 km (despite the name) of powdery white sand with crystal clear water. Stingray City, a sandbar in the North Sound Lagoon, is the iconic experience: here you swim with tame stingrays in waist-deep water — an unforgettable natural experience. The Cayman Turtle Centre is a breeding facility for endangered sea turtles, where visitors can experience the animals up close. The National Museum in the historic Old Courts Building tells the story of the islands from pirates and turtle catchers to the modern financial center. Underwater, Grand Cayman offers world-class diving: the Kittiwake, a sunken shipwreck at 18 meters depth, the dramatic wall of the Cayman Wall, and Eden Rock with its underwater caves are just minutes from George Town.
