There was recently opened an island in Cuba called "Cayo Coco". This is the only area that you can visit during the C***-19 pandemic and I couldn't find any information about it even in this subreddit. What entertainings do they have? Because I can't check it through the internet, and to check in-person the island is too difficult. Has anyone already been to this Island? What are the pros and cons of having a holiday there? Should I go to Cayo Coco, but I have no interest in visiting Havana at all because it's 500 KM far from that Island.
My dad caught this whilst fishing from outside his room, which was on stilts. It has quite a distinctive forehead, with a raised eye. He was told by the hotel chef that it is poisonous if not prepared correctly.
Any ideas?

My mother is going to Cuba for 11 days soon. Between her allowance and my father-in-law's allowance, they could bring back 100 cigars to Canada tax and duty free.
A box of 25 Connie A from our only Canadian online vendor costs $775CAD. According to the YUL blog list, a box of Connie A in Cuba should cost $203,75USD, but the YUL list mentions its a Habanos Specialist Exclusive. What does that mean?
My mother will land at Cayo Coco and will likely never leave her resort, so sending her to a LCDH in Havana or Varedero is probably not an option. There's a LCHD in a hotel in Cayo Coco, can these be trusted the same as street shops?
I'm hopeful for these 3 especially:
- Hoyo Epicure No 2
- Romeo y Julieta Petit Coronas
- H Upmann Connie A
Any advice would be really appreciated.
Any word on Cayo Coco? It was supposed to be a rum bar and restaurant with a "chef-driven menu centered around South American/Cuban cuisine, served in the style of Spanish tapas/Basque pintxo" from one of the owners of the Collins bar and set to open at Founders Station. I can't find any mention of it since last summer, though there is a blurb about it in the latest Birmingham magazine. I didn't know if anyone had any scoop on it.
When I was vacationing in Cayo Coco Cuba I would take a near two kilometer walk east up the coast on the beach to explore what was around the bend far up as the tide had gone down allowing be to walk across to access the beach. I would turn it, and after walking a bit would discover the skeletal remains of a very old wooden sailing ship/vessel.
Judging by the mold on the wood and the bubbly looking iron metal on a certain piece of it (curious as what is is, maybe a porthole or the piece that held up a mast?) a few meters away its been there some time having been eroded by the salty sea water and scavenged overtime. I'm thinking 1600's to 1700's to the 1800's maybe? Its a common thing people see walking this far up the beach, and got me posting this looking for help finding info on its origin and type as I can't find info online about this wreak. I've been interested in shipwrecks since I was young starting with the Titanic.
Has anyone come across this vacationing in Cayo Coco, what would be its origins and its source and what are the pieces of it called? Please do comment if you may know anything, I hope to see!
I had difficulty posting and still can't post an imgur album with the photos I took if it, so here is the link.
Just looking for some advice on fishing in Cayo Coco on an upcoming vacation at the end of October. Is it realistic to find some spots on the shore anywhere for some casual fishing during the day? I've heard the causeway to Guillermo is popular with the locals, would anyone recommend a trip there? Near or off the resort beach (Memories Flamenco) would be ideal as well but that doesn't look promising. We are also on the fence about booking a fishing excursion but some members of the group might be hesitant about the price as they would want to put the money towards other experiences on the trip.
Thanks in advance!
Hello :-)
I will be traveling around Cuba with my partner for 4 weeks this summer and I will be ending my journey by flying out of Cayo Coco airport (CCC).
I have scoured the internet for the best method of getting from Santa Clara - Cayo Coco and there seems to be no conclusive answer.
Does anyone have suggestions? I would ideally like to pay as little as possible and I am in no rush to get there (in that sense I would be open to going via Ciego De Avila if needed).
Thanks in advance :-)
