What to do and see in Cayman Brac, Cayman Islands: The Best Reefs

October 28, 2021 Marianna Hollaway

Home to fruit bats, herons, wild green parrots and an abundance of tropical foliage, the 12-mile-long island of Cayman Brac boasts more than 170 caves and 1400 inhabitants. Named for the imposing limestone bluff, or Brac in Scottish Gaelic, that looms 140 feet above the sea, the middle Cayman offers spectacular diving at Wilderness Wall and Peter's Cave. Emerald green parrots flock at National Trust Parrot Reserve. To discover some of the island's secrets, take a taxi, hop on a bike or trot on foot.

Given a choice for our second dive on the south side, I’ll select this site every time. Rich variety of sea life and the Elkhorn coral is stunning.
