The Cayman Islands
A beach so consistently ranked among the world's best it barely needs the superlative any more, stingrays that swim right up to meet you in chest-deep water, and a reef wall that drops from shallow sand to open ocean in a single dramatic step.
The best time to visit The Cayman Islands is Dec–Apr, when typical daytime highs reach about 29°C (85°F). Local time there is 01:09 (UTC-5).
