East Canarreos Archipelago

The eastern Canarreos cays lie in the shallow waters south of Cuba, east of the Isle of Pines. They form part of an archipelago that borders the Gulf of Batabanó and separates its waters from the open Caribbean. Low islands, reefs and channels interrupt the shallow bank. The Isle of Pines is the largest landmass of the group, while the smaller cays trace a broken line towards the Cuban mainland.
