People travel to the Caribbean for many great reasons but hands down one of the main reasons people travel to the Caribbean for vacation is because of the great beaches. Visitors want to see destinations where sun, sand and clear water are prevalent. The Cayman Islands are just that kind of destination, they are world re-owned for their beautiful beaches. The beaches of the Cayman Islands are found in sizes both long and short, with shimmering white sand and brilliantly clear blue water. A perfect day at the beach is the norm in the Cayman Islands.

Visitors to the Cayman Islands stay primarily around the beaches that are well travelled. The average visitor usually only ventures to see the World famous Seven Mile beach, and Rum Point. The beaches of Seven Mile Beach and Rum Point are beautiful but there are other great beaches in the Cayman Islands to see. The islands offer quiet out of the ordinary beaches that show visitors a wide range of the kinds of beaches the Cayman Islands has to offer. Some of them may be hard to get to, others are right around the corner yet quite easy to miss.

We want all visitors to the Cayman Islands to get the chance to experience the beaches of the Cayman Islands. So for this Cayman Hidden Treasure we showcase one of the great little beaches of Cayman that we don't want you to miss while visiting.
=============================================================
Location & Geography
The island country consists of Grand Cayman, largest and most populous of the trio; and the Sister Islands of Cayman Brac and Little Cayman, which lie approximately 89 miles east-northeast of Grand Cayman and are separated from each other by a channel about seven miles wide.

Size Isn't Everything!
The total land mass of the three islands is 100 square miles. Grand Cayman occupies 76 square miles; Cayman Brac, 14 square miles and Little Cayman, 10 square miles. Grand Cayman is approximately 22 miles long and 8 miles at its widest point, reaching a maximum elevation at East End of 60 ft. Cayman Brac is 12 miles long and just over a mile wide and has the most dramatic topography of the trio. Its majestic Bluff rises west to east along the length of the island to 140 feet at the eastern tip, ending in a sheer cliff. Many mysterious caves are carved throughout this awe-inspiring natural attraction. Little Cayman, only 10 miles long and a mile wide, is flat, reaching a maximum elevation of 40 ft. Its famous Bloody Bay wall Marine Park has been called one of the world's best dive sites. Inland, the 203 - acre Booby Pond Nature Reserve is a RAMSAR site and nesting ground for the Caribbean's largest population of Red Footed Boobies.

The three islands are limestone outcroppings, the tops of a submarine mountain range called the Cayman Ridge, which extends west southwest for the Sierra Maestra range off the southeast part of Cuba to the Misteriosa Bank near Belize. The islands lack rivers or streams because of the porous nature of the limestone rock. It is this lack of runoff which gives the surrounding Caribbean Sea exceptional visibility, often well over 120 ft.

Between the Cayman Islands and Jamaica lies the deepest part of the Caribbean, the Cayman Trough, which is over four miles deep. South of Cayman is the Bartlett Deep where depths of over 18,000 ft. have been recorded. All three islands are surrounded by healthy coral reefs which lie at the top of dramatic walls and drop-offs close to shore, creating ideal conditions for diving and sportfishing.

Attractions
Attractions on Grand Cayman include the 65-acre Queen Elizabeth II Botanic Park and National Trust's Mastic Trail (2 mile traditional footpath through unspoiled woodlands in North Side); Cayman Islands National Museum in George Town; Pedro St. James Historic Site in Savannah; and Cardinal D's Park, a private collection of animals in a natural tropical park setting on Courts Rd; Cayman Turtle Farm; Hell; National Trust historic walking tours of central George Town and West Bay, blowholes in East End district and historic buildings now being restored under the direction of the National Trust and National Historic Sites Committee, including the Old Savannah Schoolhouse.
