Cayo Paredon Grande

• Location: Cuba
• Lat / Lon: N 22° 28.587' / W 078° 10.308'
• Depth: 2-3 meters
• Tide: 1.0 meters
• Description: On the west side of this cay is an enticing, unspoiled beach. Offshore there is a good deal of lovely coral, and towering above everything is the magnificent yellow-and-black checkerboard lighthouse. The view from the top of the lighthouse over the surrounding cays and reef is spectacular. The anchorage is wide open to the north and west (no good in a norther), but the protection is quite good in prevailing easterlies. See Waterway Guide Cuba for details on navigation and approaches.

  DISCLAIMER: Before committing to an anchorage, you should confirm that the location is not governed by a regulation that may conflict with your plans. An increasing number of states and municipalities are enacting laws that define where and how long you may anchor.
