More Info: La Esperanza is located midway along the north shore of Cayman Brac, second largest of the three Cayman Islands. The island was first discovered by Columbus by mistake in 1503 and it became an infrequent stopping place for explorers and brigands for the next 3 centuries. 'Brac' was not permanently settled until the 1830's, so its relatively brief history is steeped in pirate lore, big storms and the struggle to survive. Today however, despite its relatively diminutive size (roughly 12 by 1.5 miles), 'Brac' is being rediscovered as a place of quiet charm and friendly people as well as a miniature land of adventure offering superb watersports, hiking, rock climbing, caving, birding, fishing, and other activities amidst tropical splendor. It is far from being crowded, has little traffic (not one stoplight), and is much slower paced than its larger sister island Grand Cayman.
There are 4 apartments and 2 rental homes on the property
APARTMENTS: Each has 2 bedrooms, 1 1/2 baths, full kitchen, living room, television, air conditioning, telephone, radio and cassette player / recorder.
HOUSES: Each has 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, full kitchen, living room, dining room, deck, television, air conditioning, telephone, radio and cassette player / recorder.
ADDITIONALLY on the premises: washer and dryer facilities, clotheslines, outside shower, gas grilles, hammocks, large shade trees, grounds to wander and beautiful Cayman sunsets. You might even see a rare Cayman Brac Parrot or Blue Iguana if you look closely.
Nearby Attractions: While La Esperanza is located on the north side of the island, it owns beachfront property on the south side as well, and patrons are welcome to use it. One needs a car to get there, however rides can be arranged with the management. It is worth it. There are shade trees, sea grape trees and cocoanut palms, picnic tables, continuous breezes and a beautiful, pristine white sandy beach to be found here. It is seemingly remote and one can become immersed in complete solitude. Snorkeling and diving can be enjoyed directly offshore.
Also very close to this location are two Cayman Island Nature Tourism Sites designated by the government to provide visitors access to some of the natural wonders of the island. The Marshes, an intensive bird watching location, is just 50 yards west along South Shore Road from the Private Beach. The Westerly Ponds are further west near the airstrip (photo). Another site, one of the designated hiking trails known as Rock Road is about 100 yards east from the beach. The Bats Cave is about 3/8 mile east as well.

Caribbean Travel Tip Bringing Your Own Boat or Plane If you plan to arrive in the Caribbean in your own boat or plane, contact the embassy, consulate, or tourist office of each country you plan to visit to learn what is required for entry and exit. Besides title of ownership, most ports of entry will require proof of insurance coverage for the country you are entering. Some countries require a temporary import permit for your boat or plane.
Authorities in the Caribbean are familiar with U.S. regulations for documentation of air and sea craft. They will detain improperly documented craft that enter their territory. In some countries, authorities will confiscate firearms found on a boat or plane unless the owner or master can show proof that U.S. licensing and export procedures have been followed. In addition, some countries impose stiff prison terms for the importation of illegal firearms.
