Bay of Pigs
Matanzas Province, Cuba
The Bay of Pigs (Bahía de Cochinos) is a scenic bay on the southern coast of Cuba in Matanzas Province, bordering the vast wetlands of the Zapata Peninsula.
Known for its crystal-clear waters, coral reefs, and rich marine life, it is one of Cuba’s top destinations for snorkeling, diving, birdwatching, and nature tourism. The bay is also famous for its historical significance as the site of the failed 1961 Bay of Pigs Invasion, a U.S.-backed attempt to overthrow the government of Fidel Castro.
Today, visitors can explore the coastal communities of Playa Larga and Playa Girón, which combine beautiful natural surroundings with museums and memorials that preserve the area's important role in Cuban history.
