Introduction
If you’ve been thinking about a real estate investment in the Cayman Islands, Cayman Brac is worth exploring. Located in the Caribbean Sea, it is the easternmost island of this British Overseas Territory, with a small population of about 2000.
The island boasts a stunning limestone cliff, known as The Bluff, which stretches across its length and harbors many caves, including the famous Bat Cave. Towards the east, a lighthouse offers mesmerizing views of the sea. The Brac Parrot Reserve, located on the island, is home to several endangered parrot species. Additionally, the MV Captain Keith Tibbetts, a Russian warship converted into a dive site, is located offshore and is a popular attraction for divers.
Deep sea fishing is available right off shore on Cayman Brac, with open ocean fish like blue marlin, wahoo, tuna and barracuda, and the local reefs are vibrant and full of marine life.
Real Estate on Cayman Brac
The real estate industry on Cayman Brac offers unique opportunities for investors and homebuyers seeking a serene and secluded lifestyle in the Caribbean.
The island’s real estate market features a mix of vacant land, single-family homes, condos, and commercial properties, with prices ranging from affordable to luxury.
The island’s rugged terrain and stunning natural beauty, including the Bluff (the highest part of the Cayman Islands) and its surrounding caves, make it an attractive location for those seeking an outdoor lifestyle.
While the island’s tourism industry has been growing steadily in recent years, it remains a quieter and less developed destination compared to Grand Cayman, offering a more laid-back and peaceful atmosphere.
The Neighborhood
The largest settlement on Cayman Brac island is a town called “West End,” also known as “West End Village.” It is located on the western coast of the island and is home to the majority of the island’s population. West End has a small but thriving community with a few restaurants, shops, and amenities. This is also where the island’s airport is located, along with its grocery store and resorts.
Places to visit include the Heritage House, Cayman Brac Beach Resort, and Barracudas Bar & Restaurant.
While West End is the largest settlement on the island, it is still relatively small and has a laid-back and tranquil atmosphere. A unique local feature of Cayman Brac is the island’s artist community, with a focus on working a type of stone known as caymanite, typically making jewelry or small stone carvings.
