The famous Bay of Pigs (Bahia de Cochinos) is 48km south of Boca de Guama. The CIA-sponsored landing here on April 17, 1961, was defeated within 72 hours, as a museum and many monuments proclaim. In all, 200 invaders were killed, 1197 captured, and 11 hostile planes shot down. You really get the feel of reliving history by coming here, and the clear Caribbean waters washing these shores make Bay of Pigs a favorite destination for scuba divers and snorkelers. A lasting legacy of 1961 is that the entire Bay of Pigs area is strictly out of bounds to cruising yachts.
The main resort in Bay of Pigs is rather pleasant, and a huge seawall provides a protected swimming area. The rocky soils of this region are of little use for agriculture and the population is sparse. Distances are long and public transportation is poor, so unless you've rented a car, you'd better be prepared to rough it.
This is as close as you will get to understanding the real Cuban, unless you go by bycycle or bus over the entire island. A small villiage is supported by the hotel. The people are what make this area special. Charming, funny,...
