Little Corn Island is a car-free speck of Caribbean coral and palm a panga ride from its larger sibling, Big Corn, with no roads, no cars and barely any electricity grid to speak of. Sandy paths link a handful of beachside guesthouses and dive shops, and the surrounding reef makes it one of the cheapest places in the Caribbean to get scuba certified.

Traveler reviews
★★★★★
Got my open water certification here for a fraction of what it costs elsewhere, and the reef life was incredible even for a beginner.
Priya M. · April 2024
★★★☆☆
The boat crossing was rougher than expected and a bit of an ordeal with luggage, but the island itself was worth it.
Tom B. · November 2023
★★★★★
No cars, no noise, just hammocks, lobster dinners and walking barefoot everywhere — completely unplugged in the best way.
