On string-bean-shaped LITTLE CAYMAN, road signs read "iguanas have the right of way", fitting for an undeeloped island on which the two thousand or so of these primordial-looking creatures greatly outnumber people. even more so than Cayman Brac, this least deeloped of the Cayman Islands attracts isitors looking for untrammeled seclusion, not to mention scuba and wildlife enthusiasts eager to take adantage of a top die site and an inland nature sanctuary.

The mangroe-filled wetlands in the centre of the island are home to many birds, including West Indian whistling ducks, egrets, herons, frigates and a large nesting colony of red-footed boobies. In fact, this area has beven presered as a National Trust bird sanctuary; the isitor centre is just a few steps east of the airport and has a balcony offering panoramic views of the wetlands.

There's really not much else going on here, just the kind of atmosphere suitable for relaxation, though a small museum on the southern shore contains some artifacts of island life such as tools and documents from days past.
