The Corn Islands are two little pockets of paradise
located about 50 miles northeast of the city of Bluefields,
in Nicaragua. While many people have never heard of the
Corn Islands, they’re a great place to visit if
you want to be surrounded by lush fruit trees and sparkling
blue water. If you’re lucky, you might even find
a washed-up treasure from a 17th-century shipwreck. Corn
Island travel is perfect for the intrepid traveler who
wants to experience the culture of Nicaragua in a way
that typical tourist resorts fail to provide. Although
both islands are gorgeous stunning, many visitors feel
that the true beauty lies in Little Corn Island Nicaragua.
The island feels deliciously remote and distant: You won’t
see any cars, cell phones, or McDonalds that you’ll
find in some resort towns in Mexico
or the Caribbean.
Although there are many things to do--such as swim, fish,
and go on a Nicaragua
trekking adventure--you’ll find that the scenery
induces a feeling of relaxation. That’s why some
people use Corn Island travel as a way to find some peace
and relaxation in an ever-crowded and more fast-paced
world. Little Corn Island Nicaragua is truly an unspoiled
paradise.
The beaches surrounding the Corn Islands are perfect for swimming. You can also do some scuba diving and snorkeling at both the big island and Little Corn Island Nicaragua. You’ll find a hidden world of coral reefs and amazingly colorful fish right under the surface of the waters.
If you travel to the Corn Islands, be sure to try the fresh seafood served at small restaurants and by street vendors. A large majority of the 2,500 residents of the Corn Islands make their living harvesting fish and lobster from the sea. The lobster has a delectable, buttery flavor and a fresh aroma that you can smell in the streets. You an get great deals on lodging, food and just about anything else you want to buy on Little Corn Island Nicaragua as well as the larger island. You can even get a nice comfortable room at a locally run hotel or bed and breakfast for under $15. Beach front rooms are more expensive, but usually only by a few dollars so you can afford to splurge. Don’t expect enormous all inclusive resorts like the one in Montelimar Nicaragua. The hotels on Corn Island Nicaragua are modest at best. But, most are clean and comfortable.
One of the main reasons tourists love Corn Island travel is for the fishing. Fishing is big business in Nicaragua and many tourists make a point to get in on the fun. Offshore spear-fishing charters are available from several different companies. A company called Rumble in the Jungle will outfit you with all the gear you need for a successful day of fly-fishing off the coasts of Little Corn Island Nicaragua.
You can start your Corn Island travel by first flying into the capital city of Managua and then taking a Nicaragua flight offered by a regional carrier to Big Corn Island. Atlantic Airlines charges around $170 for a round trip ticket, although the cost of the flight depends on what time of year you are traveling. Once you arrive, there’s no need to worry about transportation. You can take a taxi anywhere on the island for just under a dollar. You’ll have to take a water taxi to get to Little Corn Island Nicaragua, the less traveled island of the two. Corn Island travel is for people who want to get off the beaten track and explore a part of Nicaragua that hasn't been discovered by tourists. Fishing off the Atlantic Coast, eating fresh seafood, and relaxing on the quiet beaches are some of the fun things to do on a Corn Island vacation.
