ABOUT OUR
SISTER ISLANDS

Did you know that Cayman Brac & Little Cayman were the first of the 3 of the Cayman Islands to be discovered in 1503?

Cayman Brac & Little Cayman are affectionately known as the Sister Islands of the Cayman Islands as they are only separated by approximately 5mi (8km).  The National Trust for the Cayman Islands’ District Committees on the Sister Islands actively uphold our mission and vision of safeguarding our National Treasures.  Click to learn more about any of the District Committees, including the Cayman Brac District Committee or the Little Cayman District Committee.
