Frommer's Portable Cayman Islands
Chapter One
The Best of the
Cayman Islands
In the Cayman Islands, you can hike through untouched
woodland, pay a visit to colorful reefs and fish on a scuba-diving or
snorkeling trip, or plunk yourself down on the islands' white sands
with a frosted drink in hand. You can rent an isolated West Indian
cottage or stay in a luxurious resort. You can chow down on fresh
fried fish at a waterside shack or indulge in a world-class five-course
meal. Whatever your tastes and budget, in this chapter we'll guide you
to the best that the Cayman Islands have to offer.
1 FROMMER'S FAVORITE
CAYMAN EXPERIENCES
"Petting" the Stingrays: Called the "world's best 4m (13-ft.) dive
site," Stingray City lies in Grand Cayman's North Sound. Adventuresome
snorkelers and divers can swim among, pet, and feed 30
to 50 graceful, "tame" Atlantic Southern stingrays. Stingray City is
a phenomenon unique to the Cayman Islands, but don't expect to
find us there. See "Scuba Diving & Snorkeling" in chapter 5.
