With some of the most beautiful beaches in the Caribbean, Cayo Coco’s pristine shores are a haven for those looking to take advantage of Cuba’s tropical climate. Cayo Coco’s coast is made up of 11 white-sand beaches for travellers to enjoy, whether you’re soaking up the sun or relaxing under a shady palapa with a cold drink. While no vacation is complete without some time spent lounging on the beach, there’s also plenty of excitement to be had - from building sandcastles and beach volleyball to sunset parties on the soft sands.
Along the northern shores of Cayo Coco, you’ll find some of the best snorkelling and scuba diving in the world. The island’s white-sand beaches are protected from high surf by coral reef platforms, part of the second largest barrier reef on the planet – making it an ideal destination for underwater exploration. Keep an eye out for schools of tropical fish as well as sea turtles, rays, dolphins and more! There are also shipwrecks and underwater caves along the reef for you to discover.

You can explore the waters around Cayo Coco and Jardines del Rey with speedboat tours or enjoy the once-in-a-lifetime experience of swimming with dolphins on the Dolphin Swim excursion! While Cayo Coco may feel like its own private paradise, you can easily access the rest of Cuba with a Sunwing Experiences excursion.
