Even smaller than Cayman Brac and Grand Cayman, Little Cayman is straight out of a romance novel or cheesy dating show; like when the “destination dates” are on some secluded island that looks too good to be true, yea, like that. Come here to dodge the hustle and bustle (an exaggerated description, but apt comparatively) of Grand Cayman and relax on the beaches in a remote setting.

  • Watersports

    Standup paddle boarding is a #vebocouple favorite activity as it is, but imagine doing so in this paradise where sea turtles bob their heads up and down around the board while you gently explore the coastline. After that, consider taking a water taxi to explore nearby Owen Island.

  • Bike the Island

    Seek out a bike rental and race each other around the island (literally) or take your time and bounce from uncrowded beach to uncrowded beach. This is one of those locations that simply begs for you to feel the wind on your face and explore at your own pace.

  • Beaches

    The Caribbean is known for its warm waters and, sadly, litter-riddled beaches. To escape the sloppiness of more frequented beaches, head to Little Cayman where you’ll have a virtual buffet of options around the island; head to the east coast for sunrise and then off to the west coast for sunset, not a bad way to spend the day!
