Cayman Islands

The Cayman Islands are a British Overseas Territory located in the western Caribbean Sea. The territory comprises the three islands of Grand Cayman, Cayman Brac, and Little Cayman, which are located to the south of Cuba and northeast of Honduras. The Cayman Islands are considered to be part of the geographic Western Caribbean Zone as well as the Greater Antilles. The territory is often considered a major offshore financial centre. The Cayman Islands have a tropical climate, with warm weather all year round. The islands experience a wet season from May to October, and a dry season from November to April. The economy of the Cayman Islands is largely dependent on tourism and financial services. The territory is a popular destination for scuba diving, snorkelling, and other water-based activities. Grand Cayman is home to the world-famous Seven Mile Beach. The Cayman Islands also attract a large number of offshore businesses due to their favourable tax regime. The population of the Cayman Islands is approximately 60,000. The majority of the population is of Caymanian descent, with smaller numbers of Jamaican, British, and other West Indian descent. English is the official language, but Caymanian Creole is also widely spoken. The Cayman Islands are a self-governing British Overseas Territory. The territory’s head of state is Queen Elizabeth II, who is represented by a governor. The Cayman Islands have their own constitution, and a unicameral parliament. The Cayman Islands are a popular tourist destination, known for their white sand beaches, clear blue waters, and lush vegetation. The islands are also home to a number of interesting attractions, such as the Queen Elizabeth II Botanic Park, the Cayman Turtle Farm, and the Stingray City sandbar.
