Breakers Airstrip

The airstrip was privately owned and its closure was due to abandonment. The specific reasons are not publicly documented, but such closures are typically driven by economic factors, such as the high cost of maintenance, a change in land ownership, or the owner no longer having a need for a private airfield. There is no evidence of a specific accident or military conversion leading to its closure.

The site is abandoned and the airstrip is derelict. The outline of the paved runway is still clearly visible via satellite, but it is in a state of disrepair and is heavily overgrown with trees and other vegetation, making it completely unusable for any aviation purposes. The surrounding land remains largely undeveloped.

Breakers Airstrip was a privately owned airfield used for general aviation. It featured a single paved runway, approximately 3,400 feet (1,036 meters) long, capable of handling light private aircraft. It appeared on navigational charts from at least the 1980s through the early 2000s. Its operations were limited to private flights, and it never served commercial, scheduled, or military traffic.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the Breakers Airstrip. Grand Cayman is well-served by Owen Roberts International Airport (ICAO: MWCR), and the land occupied by the former airstrip is valuable coastal real estate. It is highly probable that the site will eventually be redeveloped for residential or tourism purposes rather than being restored as an airfield.
