Flag of Cayman Islands

🎨 What the flag means

The Cayman Islands flag is blue with the British Union Jack in the corner and the islands' coat of arms. Three green stars stand for the three islands: Grand Cayman, Little Cayman and Cayman Brac. Blue and white waves show the sea, a turtle recalls the old Spanish name "Las Tortugas", and a pineapple shows the link with Jamaica.
