About Cayman
LITTLE CAyMAN – A TROPICAL PARADISE
If you thought islands couldn’t get any smaller than Cayman Brac then you have to visit its even smaller little sister,
Little Cayman. A ten minutes plane ride from the Brac lands you in Little Cayman’s tiny airport where the adventure really begins. If you have ever imagined what a paradise island might look like, then this is it! At just 10 miles long and an average width of just 1 mile, Little Cayman is an idyllic sanctuary where peace and tranquility reign supreme. It’s an incredible place
to unwind in happy seclusion, with the twinkling turquoise sea, gentle breeze and white sand beaches as your backdrop. Swim out to tiny Owen Island that sits just offshore and you will probably be the only inhabitants there for the day!
The National Trust of the Cayman Islands has its own house on Little Cayman to help visitors understand more about the island’s natural habitats and animals. It’s a treasure trove of information. Birds are a big draw here too, and Booby Pond is home to a colony of 20,000 red-footed booby birds and 350 frigatebirds and is a major breeding and overwintering site for herons, shorebirds, waders and ducks. The Bird Outlook on Booby Pond is an excellent place to watch birds and take their photos in the evening.
There’s also the Little Cayman Museum and the Little Cayman Marine Museum to enjoy, helping visitors appreciate the history of this very special location.
Bloody Bay wall is probably one of the most exciting
dive locations anywhere in the world, starting at 20 feet and plunging to 6,000 feet. It’s an undersea world, the likes of which you probably won’t have ever seen before, teeming with colourful flora and fauna. Fishing is a popular and relaxing pastime and both deep sea and fly fishing are available.
