The area of Cuba is about 114,524 square km. It has a length of almost 1250 km from east to west. Its coast is washed by the Caribbean Sea on the south and by the Atlantic Ocean and Golf of Mexico on the north. The shortest distance between Cuba and USA is 188 km, to Haiti Island 77 km, To Jamaica Island 140 km, to the Mexico 210 km.
Cheery, democratic and easy going people will like Cuba. Cuba has over 3,000 miles of coastline, and its numerous cays and islands offer prominent coastlines of their own.
