Big Corn Island

Big Corn Island or Great Corn Island lies approximately 50 miles off the Caribbean coast of Nicaragua. Great Corn Island was colonized by people who escaped slavery in Jamaica, and most native islanders have more in common culturally with other English-speaking Caribbean islands than they do with the mainland of Nicaragua.
