Playa Prohibida is a beautiful pristine beach where nature and the sea combine in perfect harmony. Ideal for lovers!

Just before you reach Cayo Coco along the causeway, this parador is an ideal spot for observing the important mangrove ecosystems, the habitat for numerous colonies of pink flamingos. Prime flamingo-watching season is April to November, when they congregate at the Laguna de los Flamencos.

On the northwestern tip of Cayo Coco, El Bagá is a natural theme park where the visitor has a path that leads to the most native flora and fauna in the region, as well as aspects of traditional culture and various facets of the history and culture of Cuba, from the native inhabitants to the present day. Visitors will be able to watch populations of Bagá trees in their natural environment, covered by orchids and "curujey" and enjoy watching a large number of endemic species, including iguanas, hutias, tortoises, crocodiles, fish and turtles. They can also visit the Yanas forest, navigate along a canal covered by red mangrove on aboriginal-style canoes, tour an aboriginal village and enjoy rites and customs, as well as the evolution of habits and customs in the countryside, walk along a Spanish-colonial promenade from the 18th and 19th centuries, attend an Afro-Cuban ritual, as well as dances and festivals from the towns along Ciego de Avila's coastal region, and enjoy the interesting history of piracy on the Bucanero Galleon.

This lagoon is located on the way to Cayo Coco and is navigable across its 4.5 km² surface. It boasts beautiful natural canals, flanked by a dense forest of mangroves. The International Trout Center is located in this lagoon, due to the fact that it is one of the largest reservoirs for this species on the Island.
