Summary
Cayo Santa Maria is an island off the north coast of Cuba. It’s famous for its eight miles of fabulous beaches and watersports, such as snorkelling, sailing, kayaking and surfing.
As you’d expect, there are several boat trips you can enjoy for a spot of fishing or simply relaxing at sea under the glorious sunshine. There’s nothing quite like cutting through the waves, feeling the wind in your hair, and making the most of your precious time away.
There’s more than enough to do at the seaside to fill your days happily. However, if you want to see more of what Cayo Santa Maria has to offer, there are a few places we’d recommend. The first of these is the island’s wildlife refuge, a unique sanctuary that’s home to an assortment of amazing creatures from land crabs and lizards to sandpipers and (non-poisonous) snakes. There are some terrific hiking trails which take you through the gorgeous greenery and provide a tranquil way to spend your time.
Cayo Santa Maria has several charming little villages, including La Estrella and Las Dunas. These are great spots to buy local handmade souvenirs such as clothing and jewellery. Supporting the local economy is a nice thing to do and helps ensure these traditional crafts and skills will remain for generations to come.
