The Bluff, Cayman Brac

The Bluff

A limestone plateau running through Cayman Brac, rising to a cliff about 43 m high at its eastern end. It offers hiking, climbing, seabird watching, and a lighthouse.

The Bluff is a limestone tableland running through the middle of Cayman Brac. It rises gradually toward the east, where it forms a 43 m sheer cliff plunging into the sea. This is the highest point in the Cayman Islands. A lighthouse and viewing area stand at the eastern end, offering views of waves crashing against the cliff and nesting brown boobies, as well as distant views of Little Cayman. Several hiking paths cross the plateau, and the north cliff face is a well-known climbing area with dozens of established routes. There are no railings along the cliff edge, so take care in strong winds. For climbing, bring your own equipment or contact a local guide.
