prettiest beach on Cayman Brac, overlooking Channel Bay on the island's

at the signs guests have painted on driftwood for proof!). Guest rooms have

Carib Sands Beach Resort
, South Side,
345-948-1121, www.carib-
sands.com, $$. This condominium resort has one- , two- , and three-
bedroom units, all housed in coral pink buildings. Each unit has tile floors,
full kitchens, a pull-down Murphy bed, and all the comforts of home. Cribs
and playpens are available for families. We especially liked the long dock,
which provides not only access to fishing vessels, but also shady places for
quiet hammock time with a view of the shallow sea. The atmosphere here
is extremely quiet and peaceful. The resort is, at press time, still under ex-
pansion. The first phase of the project opened 18 units, while the new
phase will add 17 additional units as well as a weight room.
