mircaskirca Says: Little Corn Island is a paradise for those wishing to enjoy tranquility of the virgin beaches. And that's just what I was looking for. But walk to the Village should you wish to check out 'civilization'. The island is small, everything is in a walking distance. Staying on...
mircaskirca Says: My original plan after landing on Big Corn Island was to go directly to Little Corn Island. But due to strong winds and rough sea there was no panga boat so I was stuck on Big Corn Island for one day. I decided to take advantage and explore the island by foot. Starting from...
mircaskirca Says: Only a five-minute taxi ride from the airport is Brig Bay which is the main town of Big Corn Island, the 'downtown' area. Typical Caribbean town with a mixed culture (English-speaking Creole population, mainland Nicaraguans and Miskito people from the Caribbean Mosquito...

The Shack: Coldest beer on Little Corn Island
docfett Says: The Shack, run by Wyclif (a local), is the place to get the coldest beer on Little Corn Island - really! It is in front of Tranquilo's and about 100m south of the panga dock. I am not sure how he does it, but all the restaurants serve luke cool beer, but Wyclif sells beer...
Color View: Most Delicous Rondón I've Ever Had
mircaskirca Says: After arriving on the Little Corn all my taste buds were itching for Caribbean flavour, the famous rondón. The dish is mostly prepared at home for family occasions and it's not easy to find in a restaurant. They can make it for you if you but you may need to order it a day...

Magnificent Sunset Over the Ocean
mircaskirca Says: Little Corn Island is not particularly known for its nightlife, and to tell the truth, I did not miss it at all. But there was one exception to the normally laid back pace of life. Saturday night on the island is party night and Tranquilo Cafe is the place to go if meeting...
mircaskirca Says: On Big Corn Island you can take taxi colectivo or a bus, while Little Corn Island, with an area of 2,9 square kilometres, is very small and thus easily walkable. Little Corn is quite long and narrow. It means a short walk across the island, and you can walk the length of the...
Panga Boat from Big Corn to Little Corn Island
mircaskirca Says: We arrived on Big Corn Island around 8am. To get to Little Corn Island you have to take a panga boat. There are two departures daily from Big Corn, at 10am and 4pm. The times coincide well with La Costeña flights from Managua. The trip to Little Corn is often choppy and...
mircaskirca Says: One of the things that a visitor of Corn Islands notice is the dichotomy of the people, their language and their customs compared with those on the mainland. Unlike the Spanish-speaking mainland of Nicaragua, Corn Islands were a British protectorate (and refuge for pirates)...
mircaskirca Says: The two islands, Big Corn and Little Corn, were under British domination until the late 19th century so it is not surprising that British influence still exists in the type of architecture seen on the islands. Some examples of original architecture using English style,...
mircaskirca Says: The Caribbean of Nicaragua has its own unique cuisine, different from the rest of Nicaragua. It's a blend of ethnic influences, a rich reminder of where today's inhabitants of Corn Island came from. Caribbean dishes, regarded by many as the best in the country, rely heavily...
Rondón - Rich Caribbean Seafood Dish
mircaskirca Says: Rondón has been my favourite Caribbean dish since I tried it for the first time on Colombian islands San Andrés and Providencia. So whenever I travel to the Caribbean I always ask locals about this most delicious dish and try to find somebody who is willing to prepare it for...
docfett Says: My wife and I were robbed at knife point on Little Corn Island in June 2011. We were going back to our hotel (Little Corn Beach Bungalow) on the eastern side of the island from Tranquilo's Cafe on the western side. The attack occurred at 2300, on the mid-island path path...
canuckmike Says: Bluff Point, located at the southern tip of Big Corn Island is a worth while hike. The way we went to get here was down the southern side of Quinn Hill. It is a rocky shore where you hope from rock to rock for a while with the occasional little sandy beach. Large parts of...
mircaskirca Says: Beside swaying in a hammock, lounging on the beach and swimming, there are plentiful snorkeling and diving opportunities on both Big and Little Corn Island. The islands are surrounded by the reef, offering a variety of unique adventure. Stunning untouched corals and sponges,...
