While travelers may head to Grand Cayman for its bustling Seven Mile Beach or to Little Cayman for its quiet allure, Cayman Brac has its own unique assets and charms. This middle child of the Cayman Islands trio is increasingly known for its eco-tourism attractions that include world-class diving along undersea walls, hiking in the most rugged terrain found in the Cayman Islands, strolling the new system of Heritage Sites and Trails, exploring numerous caves, birding, sunning, and much more.
Just what makes Grand Cayman grand? Grand Cayman is, as the name suggests, the largest of the three Cayman Islands. This is true not only in terms of size, but also in the number of attractions it offers. The 76-square-mile island, approximately 22 miles long and eight miles at its widest point, is chock-full of luxurious hotels and condominiums, beach bars, fine restaurants, duty-free shops, and plenty of soft adventure ranging from sunset cruises to scuba diving with stingrays.
Just 80 miles northeast of Grand Cayman, but worlds apart in terms of atmosphere, Little Cayman is tailor-made for visitors looking for secluded scuba diving, fly- or spin-fishing, and nature. Appropriate to its name, Little Cayman is only 11 miles long and two miles at its widest point. Boasting none of the glitz of Grand Cayman, Little Cayman does greet guests with all the basic comforts, including several small lodges and condominiums with air conditioning, satellite TV, and telephone service.
