About Stingray City - Grand Cayman
Stingray City - Grand Cayman is a shallow North Sound sandbar where visitors stand or snorkel among resident southern stingrays. The site is sheltered by the barrier reef line, so calm water and clear visibility are part of the appeal, but it is also one of the most visited excursions on the island. It works best as a guided boat tour rather than a free-form dive, with the shallow depth and large groups shaping the experience.
