Rebecca's Cave
A rock cave at the foot of the cliffs on the south coast of Cayman Brac, where 17-month-old Rebecca, lost in a hurricane in 1932, was laid to rest.
Rebecca's Cave lies at the foot of the cliffs in the southwest of Cayman Brac. It is a historic site protected by the Cayman National Trust. In 1932 a severe hurricane struck the Cayman Islands, and islanders took refuge in the cave. Rebecca Bodden, a baby girl just 17 months old, died there and was buried in the cave. Flowers are still often laid at her grave. From the roadside, it takes about 10 minutes on foot along a path to reach the cave entrance. Cayman Brac has many limestone caves like this one, which islanders once used as shelter from hurricanes.
