There are over 4,000 islands and cays around Cuba, many of which are part of archipelagos. Off the south coast are two main archipelagos, Jardines de la Reina and the Canarreos Archipelago. The Sabana-Camagüey Archipelago runs along the northern coast and contains roughly 2,517 cays and islands.[1] The Colorados Archipelago is located off the north-western coast. The following is an incomplete list of the islands of Cuba.
