Most Interesting Tiny Island Vacations

Pitcairn Islands

The Pitcairn Islands are a tiny chain of four miniscule islands that are considered a British Overseas Territory. Only Pitcairn, which is the largest island at 2.2 square miles, is inhabited. The 50 or so people who live on Pitcairn are mostly descendants of pirates who mingled with the local Tahitian population. You can stay on Pitcairn, but if you want to visit, you’ll have to go through a tourism organization who will organize a homestay for you as there are no hotels.
