The Cayman Islands are a British Overseas Territory with three islands: Grand Cayman (the largest, with the capital George Town), Cayman Brac, and Little Cayman. Seven Mile Beach on Grand Cayman is the main resort strip. Stingray City, a shallow sandbar where southern stingrays gather, is reachable by boat from Grand Cayman's North Sound. The Cayman Islands have no income tax, no capital gains tax, and no sales tax, which is why the cost of living is high: goods carry import duties instead.

Direct service also operates from Dallas, Charlotte, Atlanta, Houston, and Fort Lauderdale. The Cayman Islands use the Cayman Islands dollar (KYD), pegged at KYD 1 = $1.25.
