Grand Cayman
Seven Mile Beach and the world's best shore diving
Grand Cayman is one of the Caribbean's most polished destinations — impeccably clear water, Seven Mile Beach's consistent calm conditions, and the famous Stingray City sandbar where southern stingrays glide around your ankles in chest-deep water. It's not the cheapest Caribbean island, but the clarity of the water and quality of the diving make it consistently worth it.
