Sand Bar AKA Sting Ray City This is an absolute MUST when you come to Grand Cayman. Located on a sand bar in the middle of the north sound, these graceful, southern sting rays will surround you and amaze you. These gentle giants (and small ones too) have been visiting tourists in this area since the 1950's. Fisherman, such as Captain Marvin, used to return and find refuge from the surf in the shallows to clean their fish. It did not take long for the sting ray and the Caymanians to realize the benifical gain for eveyone in this area! Captain Marvin. offers fantastic half day and all day trips. All day trips include a really nice lunch at Kaibo yacht club and additional snorkeling stops. |

Boatswain's Beach - Turtle Farm Another must see while on island is the turtle farm. Touch tanks give you the opportunity to hold green sea turtles. A walk through the aviary is worth the "risk" to see the indigenous birds. The predator tank is very cool to see (no touching) - and the snorkel lagoon is a great way to get your nervous nellies used to swimming up close and personal with reef residents before heading out into the wild at Governor's Reef or some of the other great snorkeling spots around the island. |

National Trust Even if you do not come to the island, you must visit the National Trust web site. Beautifully designed, easy to read, this site is a great resource to learn all about the history and culture of this beautiful country. If you do come on island, stop by the National Trust or partake in one of their many workshops. |
