Grand Cayman Island - Caribbean Island Home of Stingrays, Turtles, and Hell

Western Caribbean Island Is More than Just Fantastic Shopping

From Linda Garrison, About.com

Grand Cayman Island is a low, sandy island in the western Caribbean. Grand Cayman is very popular with cruise ships because the island has some of the best shopping in the Caribbean, but it also has beautiful beaches, an interesting turtle farm, and famous "stingray city". Cruise passengers touring Grand Cayman can spend their day shopping in town, enjoying the crystal-clear water, or visiting the village of Hell. This small tourist-trap will let you mail some postcards back home or buy a "I've been to Hell" t-shirt or other tacky souvenir. Let's take a pictorial tour of some of the highlights you can find on the island of Grand Cayman.
