The economy of the Cayman Islands is dominated by financial services and tourism, together accounting for 50–60% of Gross Domestic Product. The nation's low tax rates have led to it being used as a tax haven for corporations.
One of Grand Cayman's main attractions is Seven Mile Beach, site of a number of the island's hotels and resorts. Named one of the Ultimate Beaches by Caribbean Travel and Life, Seven Mile Beach is a public beach on the western shore of Grand Cayman Island.
Points of interest include the marine theme park "Cayman Turtle Centre: Island Wildlife Encounter", the Observation Tower located in Camana Bay, the Mastic Trail, a hiking trail through the forests in the centre of the island and the East End Light, a lighthouse at the east end of Grand Cayman island
All three islands offer scuba diving, and the Cayman Islands are home to several snorkelling locations where tourists can swim with stingrays. The most popular area to do this is Stingray City, Grand Cayman. On Little Cayman, 'Bloody Bay Wall' and 'Jackson Bay' are popular dive destinations both situated on the north side of the island. Little Cayman features shallow dives as low at 20 feet and as deep as 6,000 feet.
