A diver watching two French Angelfish in Cayman Brac, Cayman Islands (Stephen Frink)
On This Page: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.
