Cuba: The entrance to the causeway road leading to Cayo Coco, Jardines del Rey (Gardens of the King), Ciego de Avila Province

Cayo Coco, used as a hideout by buccaneers in the early colonial period, 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 connecting the island to the Cuban mainland opened on 26 July 1988, and resort construction began.
