Cayman Brac, one of the three islands comprising the Cayman Islands, offers a quieter and more rugged experience compared to its more commercial sister, Grand Cayman. Known for its stunning cliffs, diving spots, and laid-back vibe.
Cruise ships visiting Cayman Brac typically anchor offshore, as there is no large cruise terminal on the island. Passengers are tendered to shore, usually arriving at the small pier in the main settlement of Stake Bay.

The Bluff (Brac): The island's name comes from this impressive limestone bluff that rises along the eastern part of the island. There are hiking trails offering breathtaking views and opportunities to spot local wildlife.
Lighthouse: Located at the eastern tip of the island, this is the highest point on Cayman Brac and offers panoramic views of the island and ocean.
Reef Diving: Cayman Brac is famous for its coral reefs and clear waters. Numerous dive sites are accessible, including wreck dives like the MV Captain Keith Tibbetts, a Russian frigate.
Cayman Brac has several lovely sandy beaches such as the one at Public Beach near Stake Bay.
The Brac Parrot Reserve encompasses 282 acres of contiguous protected land that is dominated by pristine, ancient dry forest on a very rough and rocky terrain. A great diversity of native trees support breeding pairs of the Cayman Brac Parrot (Amazona leucocephala hesterna) as well as other forest birds such as the Red-legged Thrush, White-crowned Pigeon (“Bald Pate”) and Black-whiskered Vireo. In the winter months, the reserve is also filled with neotropical migrant songbirds, escaping cold northern climates.
