Came to the southern beach and mangrove National Park, famous for sandy beach with clear water, and fly fishing for Bone fish in the mangrove.
The beach at Playa Larga is pleasant, being long with fine sand and no rocky areas. There are a few bars and restaurants serving grilled fresh fish, lobster and squid.
Joined a walking and bird watching guided tour to Enigma de las Rochas. It is and area covered by irregular well eroded lime stone, which were the sea bed 3500 years ago.
There are a lot of pools, fed by underground water, pristine deep blue water, one pool is easy to get down for a swim.
Bird watching is great, close encounters with Cuba National bird Tocororo, and very cute looking bright green body with bright red chest little bird Tody, and many others.
One spot within a short ride is recommended for snorkelling or diving is Punto Pesce. The sand is super white and water super clear, a fantastic view.
Unfortunately being a rough rocky shore, eventhough there is set up for bathroom and bars, but no platform is built to get in and out of water.
Especially when the wave is a bit strong, getting into water with flippers and snorkel was a struggle. The under water view is great, with some area having a decent concentration of coral fish.
古巴遊之四 Playa Larga 電力配給
來到南部有名的陽光與海灘區，沙細水清，附近亦有沼澤國家公園、行山徑，風光和觀鳥都理想。
其實不全為游泳而來，起初是伴侶想來古巴，為了在這沼澤區以flyfishing 釣 Bone fish, 是釣魚界知名的玩意，我看到古巴有這麼多UNESCO 城市，才決定把旅程拉長。
民宿由中年夫婦打理，十分盡心，早餐麵包和小糕點都自家做，蔬菜水果在親友家取得，兩個冰箱放滿本地大魚、龍蝦、各種肉類、蔬果和醬汁。先生愛煮飯，樂於為人客做晚飯，當然也是搵真銀的方法。
傾談下知道先生原是獸醫，太太是遺傳科醫生，負責處理孕婦肚內嬰兒的基因問題。十年前政府開放民宿生意，先生退下工作，買破屋地建屋做民宿生意。
太太以父母年老要照顧作理由，申請每星期工作兩天，方便打理民宿搵真銀，為此每月工資減至十二美元。
為何仍然留守工作？因為可望作為「出口」醫生，在其他國家災區參與國際humanitarian aid 工作，出國見識。
離開Havana 後，差不多每天都遇上停電情況，每次四小時，有時每天一次，有時四小時後又再次停電，循環不斷，是政府控制用電的方法。
為何每次四小時？因為冰箱內食物，不常打開櫃門的話，仍然可以保持良好！也算是有點計算，為民著想。
唯一麻煩是停電就沒有WiFi, 不少地區電訊網絡欠佳，就真的有點與世隔絕的感覺。
