Getting Brac to nature Cayman Brac, the second largest of Grand Cayman’s three islands, offers visitors stress-free, laid-back fun.
Whether you go there to explore the land or the sea, there is no shortage of things to do and see.
For those visiting the Brac for underwater adventures, there are plenty of amazing dive sites that can be reached by boat, including East Chute, Anchor Wall, Tiara Tunnel and Kissimmee, as well as the not-to-be-missed MV Capt Keith Tibbetts wreck, a 330ft-long Russian destroyer sunk, which was sunk off the north shore of the island in 1996.
There are also some interesting shore dives, such as Cemetery Reef, Radar Reef and the Lost City of Atlantis, where local artist Foots has sunk life-sized statues of legends.
The Brac is home to wonderful fishing opportunities. The shallow waters are filled with bone-fish, while marlin, mahi-mahi, wahoo and tuna can be caught in the deeper waters offshore.
On land, explore the many incredible caves dotted around the island. You will see signs directing you to caves along the roadside and the District Administration Office on the Brac can arrange for a free guided tour.
The Brac, which is Gaelic for bluff, takes its name from the 140ft-high rocky hill that dominates the centre of the island. Drive to the lighthouse at the eastern part of the bluff and take a stroll along the cliff-side trail, where you can glimpse a variety of the island’s native flora and fauna.
