  • Stay safe at shallow reefs close to shore.
  • Pet friendly stringrays at—where else—Stingray City.
  • Float alongside tropical fish at Boatswain’s Beach, which features a 23-acre marine park.

Little Cayman Overview

The smallest of the Cayman Islands, cigar-shaped Little Cayman has only about 170 permanent inhabitants. About 16km (10 miles) long and 2km (1 1/4 miles) across at its widest point, it lies about 121km (75 miles) northeast of Grand Cayman and some 8km (5 miles) from Cayman Brac. The entire island is coral and sand.
