[1] Little Whale Cay was developed in the 1940s as a private island residence by Wallace Groves, a US businessman with a strong interest in the Bahamas.

"[2] Residents and employees during Groves' ownership reported that he ran the island in a police-state fashion.

Austin transformed the property and the three houses built under Groves (Little Whale, Peacock, and Flamingo) into rented sea-view villas.

[6] The island is served by the Lt. Whale Cay Airport (ICAO: MYBX) and by a small harbour.

34 different species of birds found at Little Whale Cay include flamingo, Bahamian duck, and Bahama woodstar hummingbird.
