About Stingray City:
Located in the calm warm waters of the North Sound in Grand Cayman, Stingray City is a shallow sandbar where wild stingrays come to enjoy the benefits of a free meal from those lucky enough to visit. The sandbar first started attracting the attention of the rays back in the 60’s, when fishermen would clean their daily catch there. They would do this on account of the mosquitos being so bad back then, before we started controlling the mosquito population. The Stingrays soon caught on that every time a boat would arrive here, a free meal was on the dinner table! Over time and with the introduction of tourism, people started to visit the sand bar to see these graceful Stingrays that were always about. As the number of visitors increased, so did the number of rays to what we have today, where more than 90 Stingrays visit Stingray City on a regular basis.

For those who have the chance to enjoy a boat tour in Cayman will also get a chance to see other aquatic life such as brightly colored starfish and dozens of species of reef fish. If you’re lucky, you may even get to see an Eagle Ray or a Green Turtle.
