Owen Island
An uninhabited islet in the lagoon off the south coast of Little Cayman, reachable by kayak or swimming, with a private white-sand beach.
Owen Island is an uninhabited islet in the South Hole Sound lagoon on the south coast of Little Cayman, about 200 metres offshore. It has a white-sand beach and low woodland. Visitors usually borrow kayaks from a resort on the shore and paddle across, or wade and swim over through shallow water. They picnic and snorkel on the island, and often have the whole beach to themselves. There are no facilities on the island, so bring your own drinking water, take your rubbish away with you, and remember sun protection.
