Stingray City
Locals say that the stingrays began gathering in the area decades ago when fisherman used to clean fish on the shallow sand bars of the North Sound. The stingrays would forget their normally shy dispositions and feast on the guts of the cleaned fish. Soon the stingrays began to associate the sound of a boat motor with food. In the late 1980s, divers started feeding the stingrays one of their favorite meals: squid. Before long, dozens of rays would show up each day to be fed, attracted by the boat engines and the memory of an easy meal. The area has evolved into one of Cayman’s most popular attractions.
