• Description: Cayos de la Lena is a favorite anchorage for cruisers transiting the Cape or awaiting a good weather window to transit the Yucatan Channel for Mexico but who do not want to stop at the marina. Although the itself is isolated, there can be a surprising number of small- to medium-sized fishing boats passing through the canal as they travel between the acopio on the west side of the Cayo and the reefs to the north. Displaying an anchor light in this anchorage is a must. See Waterway Guide Cuba for details on navigation and approaches.
