Cayman Islands – Pristine Sea Sides With Modern Amenities

Are you looking for a vacation by idyllic seashores? The Cayman Islands of the Caribbean should be the perfect choice. The combined magic of the Grand Cayman, the Little Cayman and the Cayman Brac are sure to work. Best of all, these havens of natural beauty are equipped with excellent facilities for a luxurious stay. You will certainly find an appropriate Cayman Island beach rental from the plethora of choices in the region.

The Little Cayman and the Cayman Brac are very sparsely populated. It is best to laze around in the beautiful seascapes or in a condo in the Cayman Islands. However, there is no dearth of adventure. The islands abound in water sport like diving, snorkeling and fishing. All these activities are mostly arranged by a good Cayman Island beach rental itself. Whether you are the contemplative sort or the energetic one, Cayman Islands has something suitable to offer.

The Cayman Brac provides for excellent diving and fishing. For the more adventurous divers, the waters have an accessible wreck. These islands also have a curious limestone rock structure. The islands offer hiking possibilities highlighted by caves like Bat Cave and Great Cave. However, if you are keener on vast stretches of beach and the abysmal depths under sea, Little Cayman is probably the answer.

Little Cayman offers snorkeling and deep sea diving. Apart from excellent beaches, the steep plunges of the sea bed are a major attraction. Spots like Bloody Bay Wall, Jackson’s Wall and Mixing Bowl are rich in versatile marine life. The Booby Pond Nature Reserve is a paradise for bird watchers. The Grand Cayman probably offers the most dramatic underwater adventures. The stark falls of the water has gone down to immense depths giving them the name of “mountainsides” under sea.

The luxuriant beaches and mystical seas of Grand Cayman can also be enjoyed from an aerial tour of the island. Other attractions include Queen Elizabeth II Botanic Park and the central points of George Town. The St. Pedro Castle restoration site presents an interesting glimpse into the history of the islands. The town also presents bunches of nightclubs for the young groups. The Cayman Islands enjoy a pleasant climate and are inhabited by friendly people of mixed cultures. English is the predominant language.

You will certainly be able to find a well-equipped condo in the Cayman Islands. Condos, beachfront properties, resorts and luxury hotels abound. Most of them have access to beaches and organize water sports and the island tours. Some of the popular rentals are Coral Sand Resort, Hyatt Regency, Resort Beachfront Condo Property, Cobalt Coast resort and Brac Reef. With such a lot to offer, the Cayman Islands are surely worth a visit.

Cayman: A Photographic Journey Through The Islands

Book Description
In this updated edition of the now classic Cayman: A Photographic Journey Through the Islands, readers can experience the traditional Cayman of the years past, as well as witness the remarkable resiliency of its people as recovery efforts rebuild hope as well as homes.

Review - Enhanced with an informative and engaging text by Laura Hurwitz and showcasing the incredibly beautiful photography of Amanda Lumry and Loren Wengerd, Cayman: A Photographic Journey Through The Islands is now in an expanded second edition. The wildlife both on land and in the sea, the peoples and places that give these Caribbean islands their unique and special appeal, are all presented in full color and a thoroughly "reader friendly text from first page to last. Cayman is ideal for the armchair traveler and as a preparatory introduction for anyone considering a tourist vacation or business visit whether for a week, a weekend, or an endless summer!

Review - When we think about Cayman we immediately conceptualize an image of three islands, Grand Cayman, Little Cayman and Cayman Brac catering primarily to cruise boats, off shore banking golfers and tourists. Little do we know that this is not all there is to these beautiful islands!

Photographers Amanda Lumry and Loren Wengerd along with the collaboration of author Laura Hurwitz have dispelled this perception in their coffee table book entitled Cayman A Photographic Journey Through The Islands.

Scanning through the more than 147-page collection of impressive images we are apprised of a far different view of a landmass that is approximately 1.5 times the size of Washington, D.C.

The photo journey covers a huge range of topics depicting human as well as landscape scenes. You can probably label the collection of images as a view of the other Cayman, distinct from the touristy concept portrayed in travel publications. Real people exist, rather than the models we are so accustomed to seeing in various media.

The photos definitely succeed in making us aware of the beauty of Cayman and the necessity to preserve the heritage, culture, wildlife and habitats.

When I asked Amanda Lumry what was the primary objective of the book, she informed me, "Cayman, increased tourism and offshore banking provide an ever increasing concern for locals trying to maintain their heritage and way of life. We attempted to shed some light on their concerns through our personal interviews. By reading this book, it is our hope that tourists will realize the precious jewel that Cayman is and respect it."

Review - This Cayman photography book is the most beautiful book published on the Cayman Islands. Not only have the photographers captured the beauty of these islands, they have also captured the beauty of the Cayman people by publishing their small biographies. I have been to the Cayman Islands and I love having this book as a wonderful memory of my trip.

This ambitious photo journey is filled with sharp, clear and selective images that blend local colour with human interest. This is particularly evident when you look at the picture of Captain Paul Hurlston and read about his personal story. There is a kind of sadness in his face that probably can be attributed to the fact that his wife left him three years ago. However, he still holds unto his love letters he saved dating back to 1959. We are informed "he still clings doggedly to a fragment of hope that she'll come back to him, but a weariness and resignation seems to overshadow his faith in marital reunion." The photo image affectionately captures these characteristics to the extent you almost want to reach out and console this Caymanian.

No doubt after reading his book and savouring the photo images the reader will come away with a greater understanding and appreciation of "things Caymanian."
