Fifty miles northeast of the
Atlantic Coast city of Bluefields,
Nicaragua, lies one of the
Caribbean's forgotten tropical
paradises; The Corn Islands.

The two Corn Islands, Big Corn
Island and Little Corn Island are
lush with exotic fruit trees, native
palms and surrounded by white
sand beaches.
A haven for pirates and buccaneers in the 17th century, untold numbers of
shipwrecks and treasures still lay scattered along the turquoise shores of
The Corn Islands.

The local Islanders, descendant from the original British prospectors and
freed slaves, make their living from harvesting lobster and fish from the
prolific, offshore fishing banks.
Many Nicaraguans
from the "mainland" have moved to Big
Corn Island in recent years,
diversifying the population and languages
overheard on the island. Still, the laid
back atmosphere and lifestyle seems to
overtake anyone who visits The Corn
Islands.

The tourism and hospitality industry is in
its infancy! Here you can still get a
room for less than $10 in a family run
hospedaje and buy an excellent dinner from street vendors for $1.50. The
local beer is always cold and you buy rum by the bottle at the restaurants.
Adventure travelers seek out The Corn Islands for their fishing (flats and
offshore), scuba diving and snorkeling.
TWO days before my Little Corn adventure, Austrian cook Walter Schleiffer and his wife, Alexandra Weiss, were the only sunbathers on a wide expanse of what is considered Great Corn Island's best beach.

Resting on chaises under palm trees on the western end of the island in front of the Arenas Beach Hotel, they raved about the lack of tourists and the inexpensive hotels and restaurants.

"This is perfect, with one exception," Weiss said. "There is no shopping."

Great Corn does have a little centro in Brig Bay, the "downtown" area between the airport and the municipal docks. Vendors sell fruits and vegetables, children's knapsacks, souvenir T-shirts and the like. There are about a dozen such shops, one just like the other.

I rented a golf cart for three hours and tooled around the island. That's how I discovered Sandra Watts' coco-bread shop across from the airstrip. Locals line up outside her modest bakery at all hours to devour those homemade, sweet-tasting confections that melt your insides. She also sells "patties," little meat- or plantain-filled pies, that locals buy after work, each for less than a dollar.

I also climbed 365-foot Mt. Pleasant, the highest peak on the island. After a 20-minute walk through dense foliage and past brightly colored houses, I reached the top to behold a breathtaking 360-degree vista of Great Corn's white-sand beaches, mangrove swamps in the center of the island and turquoise water on all sides.
