The three Cayman Islands sit south of Cuba and are known for safety, polish and spectacular underwater visibility. Grand Cayman's Seven Mile Beach is lined with hotels and restaurants, while the sandbar at Stingray City lets you stand waist-deep among southern stingrays.

Little Cayman and Cayman Brac are much quieter, with famous walls such as Bloody Bay for divers.
