Grand Cayman, shaped like a giant claw "pinching" the North Sound, is the largest of the three islands in the Cayman Islands, a rich territory of the U.K. George Town, at the southwest "knuckle" of Grand Cayman, is the capital of the Cayman Islands and its largest city. Grand Cayman's Seven Mile beach, on the west coast north of George Town, is one of the finest beaches in the world. The island is divided into five districts - Bodden Town, East End, George Town, North Side and West Bay. The island's most famous excursion is to Stingray City where boatloads of tourists debark at nearby Stingray Sandbar  they can feed and "pet" large rays while snorkeling in waist-deep water.
