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.
