We were a little surprised that the lighthouse is small, but that made no difference. I guess you could call it "cute". I'm sure it's very efficient. The reason to visit this location is not really to see the lighthouse, but for the scenery and the nature walk. It's really a nice location to relax a bit (even has a... More

The best part is the trail to the left that leads to an area where the famous Booby birds are nesting. We walked about a quarter mile and out on the edge of the cliff on the rough rocky terrain, the bird were seen as adults, fledglings and a pure white down covered chick. The view out to sea was...

This is the best place on Cayman Brac to booby watch. Early morning visits is the perfect time to watch the birds and enjoy the gorgeous Light House view. Also a great place to take breathtaking photos.

Cayman Brac is home to the Brown Boobie and chicks are like big white cotton balls, nearly the size of the adults. In february and march, the chicks nest at the lighthouse, on the cliff edge. The parents swoop and dive in magnificent displays of aerobatics from the cliff out over the sea (140 ft below). Neither parent nor chick... More

You can hike up to the lighthouse but since I am not an adventurous type I drove up there with a guide and colleagues. When you get to the edge of the bluff and look down .... The sheer drop leaves you breathless! I am afraid of heights but the beauty, tranquility and magnificence of that location truly takes your... More

This is one of the highlights of the Cayman Brac "tour". It is a small island, and there is really not a lot to see. But this is worth going to. The lighthouse is on a high spot, on the bluffs, right near the edge of land. The view east out over the water is spectacular, especially if you go... More

Not much of a lighthouse but the view from the top of the bluff is stunning. You are up about 140 feet on the bluff so the lighthouse itself is not very tall or anything really to look at. Very rocky so bring good walking shoes. Good walking paths along the bluff to see all around the island. We went... More

We hiked from the north end to the Cayman Brac lighthouse and it was about 2 miles. You will need sturdy shoes to hike the iron stone portion of the trial!

Second time to the lighthouse. It itself is not a big deal but the view is worth the drive. Pack your lunch as there are picnic table and make sure to bring your cameras.
