Bay of Pigs
Contrary to its great renown and historical importance, the Bay of Pigs is actually a small, scenic, and secluded inlet that lies along Cuba’s southern coastline. Famed around the world for the failed American-backed invasion of 1961, it is now a popular tourist destination due to its beautiful beaches, interesting historic sights, and superb snorkeling and scuba diving.
While both Playa Larga and Playa Giron are perfect for lounging lazily on the beach, there are a couple of museums and monuments worth checking out documenting the events surrounding the Bay of Pigs invasion.
