Near the coast, right (east) side of the roadway, near the coast: cayo La Aguada, Cayo Lucas, cayo Salinas with cayo Los Cayuelos on its south side, cayo Guainarao (and some smaller ones), all at the west end of Caguanes National Park in Yaguajay (Sancti Spíritus Province).br> Further at sea: cayo La Loras with cayos de la Herradura on its north side (Villa Clara province), cayo Boca Ciega. Near the top end of cayo Santa María, on its south side, start a long stretch of multiple cayos heading south at first then heading east, lined with other small cayos; among which: cayo Iguana (at the top), cayo Punta de Piedra, cayo Vinagre, cayo Cortizo; half-hidden under the swath of clouds on the right are cayo Corúas, cayo La Lisa (Villa Clara province), cayo Gordo (Ciego de Ávila province), cayo Los Anegazidos, cayo Los Pargos, , cayo Piso, cayo El Sapo, cayo Flores, cayo La Cáscara, cayo Contrabando (Ciego de Ávila province)...
