Cayman Brac
From Biocrawler, the free encyclopedia.
Cayman Brac is an island that lies about 143 km northeast of Grand Cayman in the Caribbean Sea. It is about 19 km long, with an average width of 2 km. Its terrain is the most spectacular of the three Cayman Islands. "The Bluff", a massive central limestone outcrop, rises steadily along the length of the island up to 43 m above the sea at the eastern end.
The island is named after its most prominent feature, "The Bluff" because Brac is a Gaelic name for a bluff.
