Affordable Vacations in Little Cayman
The most affordable vacations are on Little Cayman. This is a small yet intriguing island tucked away in the Caribbean. The best time to visit is during the off-season (May through October) when you will find lots of vacation bargains. Like Cayman Brac, this island has some the best diving sites in the world. Little Cayman diving is the reason most visitors go to this island. They arrive on the Little Cayman airport and start a fun and exciting vacation.
Little Cayman is the smallest of the three islands. It's about 87 miles northeast of Grand Cayman and only 10 miles long. Unlike Cayman Brac, most of this island is just above sea level with the highest elevation at about 40 feet.
Since the most popular activity is scuba diving, Little Cayman hotels allow guests to rent scuba equipment. Some also arrange for diving classes if you are interested and excursions by boat to many of the more popular sites. You won't be disappointed on your Little Cayman vacation.

So, what else is there to do in Little Cayman? Birdwatching and hiking are the two most popular activities on land. It turns out that Little Cayman has the largest colony of red-footed booby birds in the Caribbean and a very large number of frigate bird species. Some Little Cayman birds are endangered like the West Indian Whistling Duck, but all of the birds are magnificent in their own way.
Another favorite among visitors is the Little Cayman Museum. This is a wonderful place to learn more about the history and culture of Little Cayman. Other places to visit include the National Trust House which is an information center and library. In addition, the Little Cayman Marine Museum honors Caymanian sea captains with an array of photographs and antique ship's gear.

Some visitors come to the island for a very different reason. Many come for a Little Cayman wedding. This island is probably one of the best places for a beach wedding. Unlike Cayman Brac, there are loads of sand beaches. In addition, since it is so remote, you are guaranteed quite a bit of privacy.
Of course, you many also choose to come here for your Little Cayman honeymoon. My husband's coworker did exactly this. It was the perfect honeymoon because both of them do a lot of diving. So, taking a honeymoon to probably one of the world's best diving sites was the perfect match for this couple.
