10 Things to Do in Little Cayman That You Shouldn't Miss
With a population of only about 125 people, Little Cayman, an island of coral and sand that just got electricity in 1990, is an absolute paradise of beaches, lagoons, lush foliage and amazing diving. Jacques Cousteau declared Little Cayman's waters to be among the top three diving sites in the world. Reefs, shipwrecks and Little Cayman's Bloody Bay Wall, considered the Caribbean's most sensational wall dive, create unforgettable dips. Walk or rent a bike to get around the ten-mile-long island.

Famous dive spot in Little Cayman.

I've done wall diving around the world and the walls in Little Cayman, including Bloody Bay Wall are superb. Skip the crowds at Grand Cayman and take the extra time to get to the precious Little Cayman, with its 170ish residents and its "all about the diving" attitude!

A dive site where Bloody Bay and Jackson Walls meet.
Reviewed By Edward P
There are about 70 dive sites around Little Cayman, this is one of the favorite - especially on a last dive day. It offers deeps, shallows, an extraordinary diversity of life and terrains that will satisfy the big-life lover and the micro-life lover equally. We often do this as a last-day dive because we can spend a lot of time in the shallows and not load up our N too heavily.
3. Point of Sand

An uncrowded beach at the eastern tip of Little Cayman.
Reviewed By OC345 - Grand Cayman
We spent the afternoon here. Shallow water for a decent beach day with good snorkeling if you go out a bit. Be very careful of the strong current. There are also no facilities here and you have to walk a bit after parking which means that you have to carry your stuff. Not a bad lime if you bring your drinks and music.
4. Owen Island
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 65 reviews
Little area perfect for picnic lunching.
Reviewed By Balitraveller53 - United Kingdom
Owen Island can only be accessed by hiring a kayak from a nearby resort, or maybe swimming - we've done both. The beach is absolutely stunning and all the way across from the Mainland of Little Cayman the sea is crystal clear, and very conducive for swimming when calm.
You won't need to spend long there - the island is very small (and it's possible to kayak all the way round in the right conditions) but it's totally, definitely, worth a visit when you're staying on LC. You can honestly feel that you've arrived in paradise, and the view back to LC is just beautiful too.
5. Little Cayman Museum
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 51 reviews
Museum dedicated to the history of Little Cayman.
Reviewed By KelSchMan - Maryville, Missouri
Small but very nice and new building containing artifacts, pictures, and memorabilia from Little Cayman history. Self guided tour. Free but donations appreciated. Rest rooms and air conditioning. I don’t know if this is usual, but the young lady who was working there is also the world expert on the iguana species that lives only on Little Cayman and Cayman Brac, and she took us on a short outdoor tour to educate us on the local indigenous species. Since there was only 2 of us, we got to ask lots of questions and enjoyed it very much.

Beautiful dive spot featuring tons of coral and sponges.
Reviewed By BigBird57 - Guelph, Canada
This was a great dive site. It started off with a vertical swim-through that you had to dive head-first and downwards. Ended up at around 100'. Other swim-throughs were also accessible at this site. A great combination of wall, reef and sand/rubble.
7. Booby Pond Nature Reserve
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 60 reviews
Home to one of the hemisphere's largest breeding populations of red-footed boobies and a large colony of swooping frigate birds.
Reviewed By GlobalGeckos - on the move
The National Trust does a nice job for a small center, with exhibits on wildlife and habitat. The rooftop viewing platform is available all day, while the center has limited hours (it is staffed by volunteers).
Excellent viewing of several species rather than glimpses of many species.
Check out their book sale section to support their work.
8. Marilyn's Cut

Features stunning displays of sponge life, especially yellow tube and trumpet sponges, bright red rope and cup sponges.
Reviewed By Manatee4Me - Charlotte, North Carolina
This is one of my favorite dive sites on Little Cayman, and frankly, in the Caribbean. The swim through is so much fun, coming out on the wall at about 75 feet. The Nassau grouper will follow divers and want to be petted (these groupers are the only fish that you are allowed to touch in the Marine Park). Pretty topography, lots of fish, healthy coral - this is a great site.
9. Little Cayman Baptist Church

Rebuilt after the 1932 hurricane, the island's only church is also its oldest standing building.
Reviewed By Janet M - Tyler, Texas
This church was very warm and friendly to visitors. The blue building is so pretty in an island style, and the quilt hanging of the creation was donated by quilters on Grand Cayman Island. You will fell very much at home here.
