Grand Cayman
The largest and most prosperous of the three islands, Grand Cayman is home to 91% of the country's 31,000 residents. Its active coast gives way to lovely gardens and well-preserved lakes and woodlands. Most of the island's development is found along the powdery white-sand stretch of Seven Mile Beach, where none of the hotels are allowed to be taller than the trademark casuarina trees. Behind the resorts is a strip of restaurants, shops, and bars where virtually all of the Cayman hustle and bustle takes place.
Little Cayman
This is the smallest and least developed of the Caymans, only one mile across at its widest point. Completely lacking the resorts and businesses of Grand Cayman, this island is dominated by a flat scrub interior and a coast fringed with palms and sea grapes. Its isolation is its very attraction for divers, bird-watchers, and anglers - especially the divers, who find here one of the Caribbean's most spectacular underwater locations.
Cayman Brac
Quiet, easygoing, and laid-back, "The Brac" supports a thriving, if tiny, community of 1,000 people who are loved for their friendliness and hospitality. Like Little Cayman, it is also just a mile across at its widest point, but the landscape varies greatly. Flat in the west, it is dominated by a central bluff to the east, and dramatic cliffs at the shore. A huge variety of animal life makes its home here, both on land and in the sea, where scuba diving is as rewarding as on Little Cayman.
