The Cayman Islands consist of Grand Cayman, Cayman Brac and Little Cayman.

These three islands share the same capital, George Town, which is situated on the western shore of Grand Cayman. The time zone observed in the Cayman Islands is -5 hours GMT. The good location, as well as the outdoor attractions of the Caribbean region tend to draw large crowds of tourists throughout the year.
