The likeliest place to spot the endangered Cayman Brac parrot—and other indigenous birds—is along this National Trust hiking trail off Major Donald Drive, aka Lighthouse Road. The loop trail incorporates part of a track used by Brackers in olden days to cross the Bluff to reach their provision grounds on the south shore or to gather coconuts, once a major export crop. It passes through several types of terrain: old farmland under grass and native trees from mango to mahogany unusually mixed with orchids and cacti. Wear sturdy shoes as the terrain is rocky, uneven, and occasionally rough. The 6-mi (10-km) gravel road continues to the lighthouse at the bluff's eastern end, where there's an astonishing view from atop the cliff to the open ocean—the best place to watch the sunrise.
