With a population of 40,200, George Town, situated on Grand Cayman, is not only the capital of the Cayman Islands, but also the largest city (by population) of all the British Overseas Territories, and a popular port for Caribbean cruise ships. This quaint town is host to a variety of activities – including luxurious glass-bottom boat tours, fascinating rum distillery tours, beautiful art galleries, top-notch shopping that includes duty free shops, delicious eateries and an historical museum.
Cayman Islands National Museum is also located here. Overlooking Hog Sty Bay, it is one of Cayman’s few remaining 19th century structures. The Museum’s collection contains over 8,000 items including a traditional handmade catboat, household and shipbuilding items, art and natural history specimens.
