From the New York Post my lovely Isla del Maiz

….BIG CORN ISLAND

Weird vegetal nomenclature aside, seedlings of tourism have started to sprout here in the form of diving operators and horseback riding tours.

The larger of Nicaragua’s duo of Corn Islands, 47 miles off the mainland, was once a bustling pirate’s cove - a seafaring/fishing culture still remains.

Get here: Fly from Managua on La Costena (tacaregional.com)

Stay: Casa Canada has 20 stylish cabanas (from $85; casa-canada.com)
