Grand Cayman

Grand Cayman is the largest of the three islands that make up the Cayman Islands, a British overseas territory in the Caribbean Sea. Located northwest of Jamaica, the islands are known for their low-lying terrain, sandy beaches, and coral reefs. Grand Cayman itself is about 22 miles long and 8 miles wide, with a significant portion of the population residing in its capital, George Town. The island's economy heavily relies on tourism and international finance, boasting a high per capita income. Its pleasant tropical climate makes it a popular destination, especially for visitors from the United States. The islands were first sighted by Christopher Columbus in 1503 and were later ceded to Great Britain in 1670.12
