The Cayman Islands (www.discovercaymans.com) is a wonderfully diverse and exceptionally beautiful location. The Caymans consist of three islands; Grand Cayman, a booming economic and tourist centre, Cayman Brac, a relaxed laidback island of approximately 1,800 residents, and Little Cayman the most remote of the three islands with approximately 200 residents. All share a common government (www.gov.ky) and legal structure with the exception of a separate Planning and DevelopmentBoard (www.planning.gov.ky), but all are quite different in their style, environment and people (www.immigration.gov.ky).

The Cayman Islands has been one of the most progressive countries when it comes to protecting the environment. The Marine Conservation Law (www.doe.8m.com) enacted in 1978 has helped the protection of marine life and protect one of the most highly rated dive destinations (www.divecayman.ky) in the world.

The islands have also demonstrated a continued economic stability that bodes well for the potential real estate investor. Lack of direct taxation, no restrictions on foreign property ownership and a stable political structure also add to the attractiveness of the islands.

Activities on the islands are as varied as the people who live here. Scuba diving, boating, fishing, hiking, rock climbing, bird watching or just plain relaxing are a few that come to mind. The Cayman Islands has something to offer everyone.
