Isla Grande del Maíz (Big Corn Island), lies approximately 75 kilometres off the Caribbean coast of Nicaragua. The island was originally colonized by the British, and most native islanders have more in common culturally with other English-speaking Caribbean islands than they do with the mainland of Nicaragua. For most of those native to the island, English is their first language. Tourism on the island is still in its infancy. There are almost none of the things one usually associates with tourist traps (tourist markets, huge beachside developments by major hospitality corporations, time-share condos etc.). The people are typically friendly and genuine.
Sightseeing
There is very little of historic or artistic significance, although the island itself is quite picturesque. Snorkelling, scuba diving, and ocean fishing are all excellent.
Getting there
You can fly to Isla Grande del Maíz from Managua. There is also a ferry from Rama (via Bluefields) about once a week.
