Hotels in Cayo Coco
Cayo Coco (Coco Key) is an island in central Cuba, well known for its luxurious all inclusive resorts. It lies within the Ciego de Ávila Province and is part of a chain of islands called by the Spanish conquerors back in 1514 as Jardines del Rey ("King's Gardens"). The cay is administered by the Morón municipality. It is named for the white ibis, locally called Coco (coconut) birds. Used as a hideout by buccaneers in the early colonial period, the island was home to a small settlement of fishermen and charcoal producers until 1955 when the freshwater supply was exhausted and the market for charcoal ended with the spread of electrification after the Cuban Revolution. A causeway was built to the Cuban mainland in 1988, beginning the era of resort construction.The causeway linking the cay to the mainland is 27 km long. The construction caused concern among environmentalists as it disturbed the tidal flow and thus life-cycle of waterlife. Despite fears, the wild flamingos still live in the shallow waters and can often be seen from the causeway. A number of gaps were subsequently created in the causeway to restore water flow. Cayo Coco is linked by a short causeway to Cayo Guillermo to the west and by another short causeway to Cayo Romano to the east. Other intriguing Cayo Coco information has to do with one of its past visitors. Ernest Hemingway, who was an adventurous soul almost without compare, spent time fishing and writing at both Cayo Coco and Cayo Guillermo, after arriving in his boat, which was named Pilar. Cayo Coco is the ideal place to enjoy the wildest beaches of Cuba.
