Cayo Guillermo is a small cay located in the Jardines del Rey archipelago off the northern coast of Cuba. Known for its stunning white-sand beaches and crystal-clear turquoise waters, it is a popular destination for tourists seeking a tranquil and picturesque getaway. The cay is part of the larger Ciego de Ávila Province and is connected to the mainland by a causeway, making it easily accessible. One of its most famous beaches, Playa Pilar, is often celebrated for its natural beauty and was named after Ernest Hemingway's boat, Pilar, as the author was known to frequent the area. The region is also a haven for water sports enthusiasts, offering activities like snorkeling, diving, and kiteboarding.
