The Location
Named for its breathtaking bluff, Cayman Brac is off the beaten track but remains charming, allowing thrill seekers and nature lovers to get up close and personal with rare flora and fauna. The tiny towns here have names like West End, Watering Place, Cotton Tree Bay, Creek and Spot Bay. Limestone caves and sinkholes contrast waters containing awe-inspiring dives along seawalls and even a sunken ship, as adventurers of all ages can brave the elements in Cayman Brac.
Towering up above, the lush green forests throughout Cayman Brac are a birdwatcher's dream - with endangered parrots, brown boobies and peregrine falcons perched in the canopy. On the ground, a crisscross of hiking trails will lead you to unusual flowers, reptilian habitats and historic sites of all kinds.
