Cayman Brac

Eighty-nine miles east of Grand Cayman is the second largest of the Cayman Islands, Cayman Brac. The most easterly of the three Islands, Cayman Brac is small enough to be a tranquil get-away destination but large enough to boast a cultural history and a diverse choice of activities. Cayman Brac is 140 feet above sea level, the highest point of all the Islands, and has an impressive sheer limestone bluff (or brac, hence the name of the island) running throughout its centre.
The rugged nature of Cayman Brac does not sacrifice infrastructure; in fact the facilities belies the island’s physical size, including hospitals and schools, excellent restaurants, a heritage museum, a boating marina which currently welcomes leisure boats as well as boat services from the other Islands, and Gerard Smith Airport, which provides a regular daily service between all three Islands.
Cayman Airways now operates a weekly direct service between Cayman Brac and Miami, opening up this island to international travel. Plans have been submitted for a new, larger marina and cruise ship dock on the northwest of the island, which will also feature luxury hotels, condominiums, shops and restaurants. Cayman Brac already offers a good choice of accommodation, from secluded resorts to self-catered condominiums.
Cayman Brac offers a diverse range of tourist attractions, from natural pursuits such as wild bird-watching and clifftop rambling to adventure activities such as rockclimbing and cave kayaking. Aquatic adventures include deep sea fishing and exploring the only diveable Russian warship in the Western Hemisphere. This diversity of regular tourists is good news for the investor in Cayman Brac as it ensures that the hotels and rental apartments currently on the island are booked up for most of the year, creating demand for more accommodation and bolstering the island’s property market.
