Introduction to Little Cayman Island
November 20, 2006
The smallest of the Cayman Islands, cigar-shaped Little Cayman has only about 125 permanent inhabitants, so nearly everybody you'll see will be a visitor, most often from the States. Little Cayman is 16km (10 miles) long and about 1.6km (a mile) wide across at its broadest point. Electricity didn't make it here until 1990, and phone service didn't arrive until 1991. Little Cayman lies about 109km (68 miles) northeast of Grand Cayman and some 8km (5 miles) from Cayman Brac. The entire island is coral and sand. Blossom Village, the island's "capital," is on the southwest coast. The Cayman Islands archipelago is made up of mountaintops of the long-submerged Sierra Maestra Range, which runs north into Cuba. Coral formed in layers over the underwater peaks, eventually creating the islands. Beneath Little Cayman's Bloody Bay is one of the mountain's walls -- a stunning sight for snorkelers and scuba divers.
