Grand Cayman Geography

The Cayman Islands, a British dependency, are located in the western Caribbean Sea. The Cayman Islands are south of Cuba and northwest of Jamaica. The largest of the islands is Grand Cayman (197 sq. km). Her sisters, Cayman Brac (36 sq. km) and Little Cayman (26 sq. km), are located about 145km northeast of Grand Cayman.

The terrain consists mostly of a flat limestone base surrounded by coral reefs. The highest point is The Bluff, on Cayman Brac, which rises to 42m above sea level. The Cayman Islands are flanked to the south by the 6,000m deep Cayman Trench, the deepest part of the Caribbean Sea.


The total land mass of the three islands is 100 square miles. Grand Cayman  occupies 76 square miles;

 Cayman Brac, 14 square miles and Little Cayman, 10 square miles. Grand Caymanis approximately

 22 miles long and 8 miles at its widest point, reaching a maximum elevation of 79.77 feet in North Side.

Many mysterious caves are carved throughout this awe-inspiring natural attraction.
