Nature went all out when it created this shallow area near an almost vertical break in the ocean wall, where you can see a wealth of sponges and large fishes.

The key offers excellent conditions for fishing, scuba diving and for aboard living. Excursions and seafaring set outset out from here to nearby Cayo Rico, whose banks of mollusks are a special attraction; Cayo Iguana, the natural habitat of hundreds of reptiles that look like mini-dinosaurs; Quinto Canal, an enormous sandbank surrounded by clean, shallow water.

The marina has two international scuba diving centers -Playa Sirena and Cayo Largo- that offer scuba diving classes at all levels, with internationally recognized certificates.

The key has 25 kilometers (15.5 miles) of virgin beaches (whose extremely white sand never gets too hot) and tiny neighboring keys where you can charge your batteries from the powerful life force of nature.
