“Brac” is the Gaelic word for bluff, the Brac’s dominant natural attraction, a limestone ridge which rises gradually from the west along the center of the Island to 140 ft at the eastern tip, plunging dip into the Caribbean below. Cayman Brac, rugged and yet still retains the charm and friendliness of a traditional seafaring community.
The population of fewer than 1300, take pride in their homeland and enjoy sharing it with visitors. Small towns have names like Cotton Tree Bay, Watering Place and Creek Bay, they have year round tropical flowers, and a special peacefulness.
Scuba diving is what attracts most people to this small Island. The newest attraction for divers is the wreck of the 330ft M/V Captain Keith Tibbets, a Cuban naval frigate which sunk in September 1996.
Onshore, attractions include the Cayman Brac Museum at Stake Bay, nature trails, caves, and the delightful local people.
