Located along Nicaragua's Caribbean coast, the Corn Islands, consisting of Great Corn Island and Little Corn Island, about 70 kilometers from the mainland, are a famous tropical tourist destination in Nicaragua. The islands offer fine white sand beaches, crystal clear blue waters, and a well-preserved coral reef ecosystem where divers can encounter colorful schools of tropical fish and marine life. The culture of the islands is heavily influenced by the Caribbean, with English and Creole as common languages, and the warmth and friendliness of the local population creates a laid-back island atmosphere. In addition to the natural beauty of the islands, the distinctive Creole architecture and traditional crafts provide an "off-the-beaten-path" experience, making the islands a great choice for exploring Nicaragua's Caribbean coastline.
