Cayman Brac Beach Travel Tips

By Linda Samuel

  • Follow the public footpaths and hiking trails across the island—interpretive signs describe the many bird species that inhabit the Brac.
  • Stroll the 600-foot Bight Road boardwalk into lush tropical forest.
  • Pack swimsuits and shorts no matter the month. Temperatures range from 77 degrees in February to 83 degrees in July.
  • Hop over to "Little Cayman," 80 miles northeast from the Grand island. Orchid-strewn beaches and secluded sands thick with mangroves, salt ponds, and tropical forests await.

Cayman Brac Travel Guide

A 17th-century Scottish fisherman named this "middle" 19km-long (12-mile) island of the Caymans Brac (Gaelic for "bluff"). The Bluff is a towering limestone plateau rising 42m (138 ft.) above the sea, covering the eastern half of Cayman Brac. Caymanians refer to the island simply as Brac, and its 1,400 inhabitants, a hospitable bunch of people, are called Brackers. Pirates occupied the Caymans in the early 18th century, and Edward Teach, the infamous Blackbeard, supposedly spent quite a bit of time around Cayman Brac. The island is about 143km (89 miles) east of Grand Cayman. Read More
