Little Cayman, the 'Mecca of the Caribbean' for diving, is the smallest and least developed of the three Cayman Islands. This treasure of nature and peaceful tranquility is located 80 miles northeast of the big island of Grand Cayman and just 5 miles west of its sister island Cayman Brac. "Little" as many locals have come to call it, is only 10 square miles and has more than a dozen secluded beaches, lagoons, a mangrove forest, and salt water ponds. Enjoy the rustic charm of the island at a relaxing pace and participate in the Pirates Week parade on the afternoon of Saturday 4th November, with costume competitions, music and dancing until late. https://www.piratesfestcayman.com/
