The Cayman’s most famous tourist attraction is Stingray City, the only place in the world that
you can swim with hundreds of tame stingrays. Conveniently, the boat to Stingray City is a
short distance away, at Rum Point, where you can also find good food, shopping, and water
sports. You can also find good food at the restaurant Kaibo, the Tortuga Club, the Reef, or
Portifinos. The Driftwood has its famous barbeque every Sunday afternoon.
