Little Corn Island
A small coral island with no cars. Jungle paths connect white-sand beaches, and it is the heart of diving, snorkeling and slow living in the archipelago.
Little Corn Island covers about 3 square kilometers and has no cars or roads, only footpaths through coconut groves and jungle. The village on the west shore has dive shops, restaurants and small hotels. The east and north shores have quiet beaches and wooden cabins. The surrounding reefs are home to sharks, rays and sea turtles, making it one of Nicaragua's best diving spots. A speedboat from Big Corn Island takes about 30 to 40 minutes, with roughly two trips a day, morning and afternoon. Rough seas can make the ride bumpy and wet, so pack belongings in waterproof bags. The island's ATMs are unreliable, so bring plenty of cash.
