Cayman Brac
Cayman Brac lies 88 miles northeast of Grand Cayman and covers an area of 16 square miles. The island was named after a limestone cliff. (“Brac” is the Gaelic word for cliff). The few inhabitants, estimated at 2,200, used to be involved in trade with coconut production but today they live off tourism. The small island is quiet and contemplative, a real paradise for divers, hikers and bird lovers.
Underwater caves, reefs, sunken shipwrecks, rock faces and exotic birds – there are plenty of them all! Legend has it that Cayman Brac was featured on the original cover of Stevenson’s world-famous novel Treasure Island. There are therefore still quite a few people even today who dive deeper and deeper in the dream of discovering the legendary treasure of the sea. The wonderful diving area with its steep, plunging, several thousand meters of rock face is extremely challenging and is mainly suitable for those experienced in underwater activities. Those preferring to stay on land should try hiking and climbing tours over the Bluff, a coral cliff protruding 140 feet out of the sea in the east of the island. In the right season you can see migratory birds on their journey and a number of parrots.
