Stingrays

You can snorkel in waist deep water while hand feeding playful stingrays, tropical fish, and even sea turtles, or dive along the Cayman wall leading to the mile deep Cayman trench. Over 300 shipwrecks make the area a treasure hunter’s dream. The beach was 100 yards away and when you got there it was only 12 feet wide and 8 feet from wall to water. Just go 3 miles north to the public beach it is beautiful. You’re able to see the “Walls” that divers speak of where the ocean seems to drop-off to an endless gray abyss. For those who prefer to stay above, there are Glass Bottomed boat rides available in Georgetown. The North Wall features spine-tingling drops that may bring about panic, until you realize you’re floating, not falling. The East End contains many of the island’s least-explored sites.

Offering a host of experiences, from petting attention- and food-seeking stingrays at Stingray City to exploring jaw-dropping drop-offs and dive sites, Grand Cayman is a watery wonderland.
