Little Cayman

Little Cayman is one of three islands that make up the Cayman Islands. It is located in the Caribbean Sea, approximately 60 miles (96 km) northeast of East End, Grand Cayman and five miles (8 km) west of West End, Cayman Brac. Little Cayman is the least populous island of the three, with a permanent population of about 160 (2021) including seasonal residents/homeowners. The majority of the population are expatriate workers from Jamaica, the Philippines, and Honduras and other Latin American countries, as well as Canada, the USA, India, Australia, Scotland, England, and South Africa. There are a handful of local Caymanians, with the local population estimated as fewer than 20. The island is about 10 miles (16 km) long with an average width of 1 mile (1600 m). Most of the island is undeveloped. Almost the entire island is at sea level. The highest elevation is about 40 feet (12 metres). The rainy season, which consists of mostly light showers, occurs in mid-April until June and again in mid-September to mid-October. There will be occasional quick rain showers in the early morning hours. The coolest months are from end of November until mid-March as the cold fronts from the north can drop the temperature into the low 70sºF. The hottest and driest months are in summer, starting mid-June and lasting until mid-September with temperatures between the mid-80sºF to high 90sºF. There are no large, predatory, or venomous animals that pose a threat to humans on the island. Despite its small size, the island hosts a heritage festival and parade as part of Pirates Week in November and the annual LC Agriculture Show in May. The LC Agriculture Show occurs on all three Cayman Islands, on different days in the same month.
