Cayo largo (3)
Close to La Marina harbour
- Cayo Pájaros
- there is a small and interesting sea turtles farm. La Marina - Cayo Cantiles and Cayo Rosario. Ask the small tourist kiosk in La Marina. Excursions to the inner part of the cay
- the small touristic harbour in Cayo Largo. There is also a small tourist office that organizes fishing trips - beach volleyball
- going on yacht and catamaran cruises - horseback riding
- taking out smaller boats - motorcycling
- scuba diving (for beginners through professionals). Cayo Largo hosts many nice birds. It's very easy to see many of them both on the beach and in the green areas. You can easily find a stretch of beach where you're virtually "alone". Ideal for family travel and naturism (but take care of the sun). Playa Paraiso and Playa Sirena are probably the two best beaches in Cayo Largo. From La Marina harbour you can reach by boat (20 minutes) a small rocky island inhabited ony by a large amount of iguanas. The animals are quiet but please don't disturb them too much. From Cayo Largo there are excursions by yacht to various nearby keys like Cayo Rico - taking pictures and observing the fauna are also alternatives.

To stroll around the island you may also rent a Scooter or Jeep. There's very little traffic in Cayo Largo and only few roads and paths, it's almost impossible to get lost!  

There are four rental stations at Cayo Largo:

     Sol Cayo Largo

     Hotel Barceló
For any rental, you need to provide your passport number (bring a photocopy of your passport and leave the original in your room's safety box). No extra charge for insurance and gasoline is included (the first tank only).

Cayo Largo

Cayo Largo del Sur, also known simply as Cayo Largo, is a small resort island belonging to Cuba, in the Caribbean Sea no more than 25 kilometers (15.5 miles) long and 3 kilometers (1.9 miles) wide. It is the second-biggest island in Cuba's Canarreos Archipelago.

Christopher Columbus is said to have visited the island on his second expedition in 1494, and Sir Francis Drake may have also stopped on the island during his circumnavigation of the globe. Pirates also likely used the island as a base. Today, pristine beaches, scuba diving, and wildlife draw tourists to the island, but no people live there permanently; locals who work in the hotels stay for about 20 days, then return to their families on nearby islands.


Cayo Largo is a limestone island, formed over millions of years from the remains of marine organisms, such as the ones that build coral reefs. Living coral reefs form one more attraction for tourists on this island, although coral bleaching has stressed some reef communities in the Caribbean. The northern coast of Cayo Largo consists largely of mangroves and salt pans. While the water south of the island appears clear enough to reveal the underlying ocean floor, the water on the north side of the island is cloudy. This cloudy water indicates that sediment is washing off the land surface and into the water or is being stirred up from the shallow sea floor.

In November 2001, the entire island was covered by storm surge in Hurricane Michelle.
