Little Hogus is a small island located off the coast of Cornwall, England. It is situated in the eastern part of the Isles of Scilly archipelago, just a few hundred meters from the larger island of St. Martin's. Little Hogus covers an area of approximately 0.2 square kilometers and has a population of around 20 residents.

The island is known for its picturesque landscape, featuring rolling hills, sandy beaches, and rocky cliffs. Its unique geography offers breathtaking views of the surrounding turquoise waters of the Atlantic Ocean. Little Hogus is also home to a variety of wildlife, including seabirds, seals, and rare plant species.

Access to Little Hogus is primarily by boat, with regular ferry services operating from St. Martin's and other nearby islands. The island has limited infrastructure, with no roads or vehicles. Instead, residents and visitors rely on footpaths to navigate the island.

There are a few small cottages on Little Hogus, which are mainly used as holiday homes. The island offers a tranquil and secluded getaway for those seeking a peaceful retreat. Visitors can enjoy activities such as hiking, birdwatching, or simply relaxing on the pristine beaches.
