The Cayman Islands are a group of three islands (Grand Cayman, Cayman Brac and Little Cayman) located in the western Caribbean.  Cayman Brac is a rustic, sleepy little island, which hasn't yet been spoiled by commercialism.

"Brac" is a Gaelic word for bluff.  The bluff is a spectacular 145 foot coral projection at the east end of the island that runs down the center of the island tapering to sea level at the west end.  The bluff has many caves to explore to the delight of spelunkers.  The face of the bluff at the East End of the island offers a challenge to rock climbers.  Nature trails abound from easy to more rigorous for all kinds of hikers.

The Brac is a bird watcher's heaven.  The island is teeming with tropical birds.  When you arrive, ask Lynne or George Walton for a guidebook to the birds of the Cayman Islands.  Our indigenous species of parrot (the Cayman Parrot) frequent Walton's Mango Manor's trees - especially during the spring and summer fruiting season.  Cayman Islands National Trust personnel stayed at Walton's Mango Manor for the past two parrot census.

Did we mention fishing?  Cayman Brac offers challenging deep sea fishing for big game with such prizes as tuna, dolphin (the fish, not the porpoise!), king fish, etc.  Groupers, snappers, bonefish and tarpon are also plentiful. We can direct you to fishing guides.

What about nightlife and tourist shops?  If you need a lot of that - check out Grand Cayman.  We just don't have it and we really don't want it.  For some camaraderie we have a few hotels/bars which have local bands playing on the weekends. We do have some really good local restaurants.  You are also welcome to use our fridge and microwave oven to store and heat snacks and drinks.

Our other natural resource is our people.  You won't find friendlier and more honest people anywhere.  And the Brac is safe.  Our crime rate is almost nonexistent.  On an island which is so small and where everyone knows everyone else - where are you going to go if you take something that doesn't belong to you?  You can stop anyone, anywhere, to ask questions and directions - they will always try to help.

The Cayman Islands are a British Crown Colony.  The Queen owns the beach from sea to high water mark.  That means you are free to walk and relax on the shores anywhere on the island.  The North shore is mostly rocky iron shore with some areas of beach.  It is great for fishing and snorkeling.  The South shore has more sandy beaches, which are wonderful for sunning and plain swimming, but not a lot to see but sandy bottom.  There is a public beach on the South side.  Since we don't have an abundance of tourists, there will probably be very few, if any people there.

We offer you a truly relaxing vacation, with lots of secluded private places, warm tropical breezes and friendly hospitality.
