Besides Suntanning, What Is There to Do?
Big Corn Island - Downtown
Go for a walk, bike ride or drive to Brig Bay for the most local activity. Fruit/veggie stands, the very busy wharf (also where you catch the panga to Little Corn Island), as well as clothes shopping, hardware stores, liquor store, and great economical restaurants!
Play in the Park
Got your kids with you on vacation? Make sure to visit Parque Rodrigo Campbell, aka “the kids park” in South End. There are lots of options for the adults to sit in the sun or the shade while the kids play. There's also free wifi!
Corn Island Dive Center
Go diving with Corn Island Dive Center, located below the Chillin Cafe on the North End of Big Corn Island.
They offer certifications and always come back from their dives with great photos and fun stories!
Bit Coin Island Bar
There might not be a better way to take in the Southwest Bay sunsets than enjoying the views from the new Bit Coin Island Floating Bar.
Corn Island's first floating bar has been a crowd favorite since day 1!
La Semana Santa - Holy Week
Easter week here is the busiest time of year, with a huge influx of tourists as well as most locals having holidays from work too.

Motorbike Rentals
Many places around Big Corn Island rent motorbikes, as well as scooters, golf carts and bicycles too! It's a great way to see the island on your own schedule. (You can't do this on Little Corn Island since there are no motorized vehicles allowed.)

While we won't make the exotic magazines with our wildlife, our birds are pretty unique.
This one's name is Ani :) as in a Smooth Billed Ani, and these birds make a lovely little whistling noise.
We also have Great Grackles, which are large blackbirds with a long narrow beak and loud alarm system that sounds like a wind-up toy!

Here Are Some MORE Great Activities!
Hike to the Top of Mount Pleasant
The highest point on Big Corn Island is Mount Pleasant, and is best done in early morning when it's cool out and you can watch the sunrise. It only takes about 20 minutes to walk to the top but is not an easy stroll!
How to get there:
Across from Casa Canada is a cobblestone road heading up the hill. Walk until you reach the kids' school, then keep right and walk the rest of the path all the way to the top!
Visit the Soul of the World monument
The Soul of the World is located on the 2nd highest point of the island, in the center of Quinn Hill’s playground, with a beautiful panoramic view of the sea and jungle canopy.
Commonly known by the locals as “the pyramid," the sculpture was built in 2006 by the Spanish sculptor Rafael Trénor and his team. It represents the corner of a cube that is (theoretically) positioned inside the sphere of the Earth. After various investigations and analyses, the team found that Big Corn Island was one of only eight points in the world that connected the corners of the inner cube to land. Isn’t that incredible?
