An oasis in the sea!
With its picture-perfect beaches, Cayo Largo is a dream come true for those in search of seaside relaxation.
Overview
Small though it is, Cayo Largo offers nearly 25 km (15.5 mi) of long, white-sand beaches that are among the most beautiful in the country. Its reef stretches many kilometres out from the lengthy southern shoreline, to the delight of divers and water sports aficionados.
Despite the construction of several resort hotels and a thriving tourist industry, Cayo Largo remains a natural paradise. Before tourism arrived, its visitors consisted mainly of a few lonely fishers from the Cayman Islands. In bygone days, pirates used Cayo Largo as a base, leading some to believe that this island still harbours their hidden booty. Treasure-hunter Cyrus Wicker, for one, spent a fortune searching for loot, but only discovered the islands's natural treasure: a superb climate, with an average temperature of around 26°C (79°F), more than 270 days annually of 8 hours or more sunshine, and water that is warm all year long.
Other than the hotel discos, La Chusmita is the best nightspot on Cayo Largo. Located behind the Marina Porto Sol, in the village of Isla del Sol, it's popular with Cayo Largo's Cuban tourist-industry workers, providing a good opportunity to get to know some of the locals.
Where on earth
Cayo Largo, 180 km (112 mi) from Havana and 170 km (106 mi) from Varadero, is part of the string of 350 small islands that make up the Los Canarreos archipelago southwest of Cuba. Measuring 38 km2 (15 sq mi), this island is just 200 m (656 feet) wide at its narrowest point.
