The smallest and
most tranquil of the Cayman Islands, Little Cayman is as remote and
unpretentious a place as any you'll find. The ten-mile long island is ruled by
iguanas, who outnumber the local residents by more than 100 to one. As warm and
welcoming as it is scenically striking, Little Cayman is the perfect escape, the
definition of "an island getaway." A year-round paradise, Little Cayman boasts a
year-round calendar of events-including our annual Mardi Gras celebration and
the Little Cayman Cook-off. Prepare yourself for a truly unique experience if
you decide to visit Little Cayman. With a population of less than 100 people,
this tiny island of approximately 10 square miles is not much smaller than
Cayman Brac. It plays host to a wide variety of exotic plants and birds, as well
as to iguanas and other wildlife, and is a nature lovers paradise. The avid bird
watcher will be sure to visit Booby Pond, where a colony of several thousand
Red-Footed Boobies nest. Most visitors to the island arrive on a live aboard
dive boat or a small plane courtesy of Island Air, which provides regular
flights between the three islands. There is no paved runway, only a grass
landing field, but that only enforces the reality of an isolated island getaway
but to experience a Little Cayman vacation does not mean having to give up the
comforts of home. Even though the population is sparse you'll find a reliable
electricity supply, state of the art telecommunications services and excellent
accommodations. Most of the resorts offer guests the expected vacation pleasures
of an island resort including diving and sport fishing. If you decide to spend a
portion or all of your vacation on Little Cayman you won't be disappointed and
fond memories surely await you. Continue to check this page for additional
