CAYMAN BRAC, CAYMAN ISLANDS

Cayman Brac

Cayman Brac is just a bit larger than Little Cayman, at about 12 miles in length and about a mile in width. Although less famous than its sister island for its diving and snorkeling options, Cayman Brac 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'.

West End

Cayman Brac's West End is where you'll likely find accommodation on the island. Gerard Smith Airport is nearly at the tip of the island, with resorts like the Carib Sands and Brac Reef Beach Resort clustered nearby. The famous Russian wreck dive, M.V. Capt. Keith Tibbets, lies just off the end.

Stake Bay

Stake Bay, which roughly refers to the middle section of the island, offers some good scenery but not much in the way of accommodation or dining. The Cayman Brac Museum lies up West End Road next to the hospital.
