Cayman Islands Caribbean-Cayman Brac

Cayman Brac Island
The Cayman Brac island is the second largest of the three Cayman Islands. It is home to some 1,500 residents and supports a thriving tourism market. The island is unique in the Caribbean and offers a great destination for those seeking something different. Cayman Brac is less famous than its sister island Little Cayman for its diving and snorkeling options, but he has more to offer in terms of natural scenery on the island itself, including world-class bird watching. . It also has the highest elevations anywhere in the Caymans on The Bluff – and these cliffs inspired early settlers to give the island its name from the Gaelic word 'brac', meaning 'bluff'.
Entertainment & Activities
Ashore, attractions include the Cayman Brac Museum at Stake Bay, a variety of dramatic caves; such as Rebecca's Cave, Peter's Cave and Halfway Ground Cave, nature trails exploring the bluff and ironshore beneath it at the eastern tip, small, charming homes restored in traditional seafaring architectural styles. The delightful people of this unusual community are its main attractions.
In addition to diving, Cayman Brac offers other forms of entertainment to visitors. A sport growing in popularity is rock climbing. Rock climbing enthusiasts have touted the bluff as a great platform for sheer vertical cliff climbing. Many climbs have already been mapped out with more being added each day.

There are several local fishermen who offer half or full day fishing excursions (your hotel can make all the necessary arrangements for you).
