We cannot allow anyone to be unaware of Cayo Coco, Cuba

Coco Island, Cuba, a Caribbean pearl favored by God. Here you can find enchanting natural scenery as well as the poetry and romance described by Hemingway. Today, I will take you to experience this treasure island immersively! 📍Transportation Guide ✈️Plane: There are direct flights from José Martí International Airport in Havana, the capital of Cuba, to King Garden Islands Airport in Cayo Coco, which can be reached in about 1 hour, suitable for friends who want to save time. 🚗Self-driving: If you like to enjoy the scenery along the way, driving from Havana is also a good choice. A 17-kilometer-long marine highway connects Coco Island to the Cuban highway network. The entire journey takes 6-7 hours, and you can see beautiful coastal scenery along the way. 🏨Accommodation recommendations 💰Limited budget: There are many family hotels on the island with affordable prices. You can also experience the local customs and feel the hospitality of the Cuban people. 💸Medium budget: Recommend some boutique resort hotels with complete facilities and considerate services. Some of them also offer sea views and are very cost-effective. 💎Pursuing luxury: Then you must try an all-inclusive resort hotel, which can provide you with a one-stop service from accommodation, catering to various entertainment activities, allowing you to fully enjoy the comfort of vacation. 🌅Must-visit attractions 🏖️Flamenco Beach: Located at the northeast end of the island, the beach here is as fine as flour, the sea water is highly saturated and emerald green like a gem. The palm trees sway in the wind and it feels like you’re straight out of a postcard. There is also a tank on the beach that has been transformed into a "dancing fish", which is great for taking photos. Flamingo Habitat: The southern part of the island is the home of flamingos, where thousands of flamingos gather. Their pink figures contrast beautifully with the blue sky and blue sea. The scene is so spectacular that it is eye-catching. This is also one of the most attractive sights of Coco Island. 🌳Beqa National Park: The park has rich and diverse ecosystems, including forests and lakes. It is also one of the best bird-watching spots in Cuba, where you can see about 130 species of birds, including the smallest bird in the world, the bee-eater. 🍱Food guide 🦀Seafood feast: As an island, the seafood on Coco Island is naturally not to be missed. Lobsters, crabs, and various sea fish have delicious meat. They can be steamed, grilled, or stewed, and each method will make your taste buds cheer. 🥪Cuban sandwich: This is the national delicacy of Cuba. It is bread with ham, roast pork, cheese and other ingredients. It is super satisfying in one bite. It can be found in restaurants and snack stands in the streets and alleys. 🍹Mojito: How can you come to Cuba and not try the most authentic mojito? The perfect blend of fresh mint leaves, rum, soda water and lime juice is refreshing and soothing. Order a drink at a beachside bar and enjoy a relaxing time. 🎯Activities 🏄‍♀️Kite surfing: The waters of Coco Island are almost waveless and the trade winds are very stable, making it a paradise for kite surfing enthusiasts. Rent a set of equipment, gallop freely between the blue sea and sky, and feel the passion of wind and waves. Diving and exploration: There are beautiful coral reefs and abundant marine life here. Bring your diving equipment, dive into the sea, and have a wonderful encounter with sea turtles and tropical fish. 🐎Beach horse riding: At Flamenco Beach, you can ride a horse on the beach, feel the sea breeze on your face, and experience a different kind of romance. ❗Notes The average annual temperature of Coco Island is 28°C. From December to April of the following year is the dry season, and the sea water is warm. It is the peak tourist season, so remember to book accommodation in advance. The Internet in Cuba is not very developed. You can download offline maps before departure, and you can also buy ETECSA Wi-Fi cards locally. Tipping is a custom in Cuba. When expressing your gratitude to the service staff, remember to prepare some change. Friends, Coco Island is really a place you don’t want to leave once you come! Pack your bags and come here to experience an island romance that belongs to you!
