By far the most water-oriented city on the island (puerto, punta, bahia, canal, ferry), it is the only Cuban city founded by French colonials from Bordeaux, Philadelphia and Louisiana, the city was first located at the point on the bay of Jagua, by Don Luis de Clouet as an outpost in 1829 and a city in 1880.

Its huge bay,
Bahia de Jagua, is a sight to behold : 88 sq km (19km long). It reaches the open sea through a 3,6 km-long sinuous canal which passes by Castillo de Jagua and Pasacaballo to end before Punta Gavilan. The twice-daily tide allows fishermen to catch enough crustaceans to offer feasts (albeit illegal) in Castillo de Jagua and its small pueblo called El Perché as well as around the bay.

Refuge of pirates during the 17th century, (Drake, de Sores, Bruce, Morgan, Craff), the rivers Caunao, Salado, Damují and Arimao flow to the bay, with Arimao wide enough to be called a lake and Guanaroca now a protected area.

"
Pearl of the South" (Perla del Sur), its prodigal son, mambo music legend, known as El Barbaro del Ritmo, Benny Moré called it simply "the town I like the most". So do a lot of visitors.

Streets are easy to locate in its square plan and the historical, cultural and architectural treasures of its old town in the centre and on
Punta Gorda are now a National Monument as well as — since Spring 05 — a UNESCO World Heritage Site, well worth a stay.

The best long beach in the area is spread along the
Rancho Luna hotel and resort some 20km from center (hotel shuttle busses from town); although not the finest sand beach (kinda grainy), it's the best you'll get near town; as elsewhere on the island, it is not limited to guests as all beaches are public in Cuba ; ) Some casas very near that beach can be found below, here.

The Bay of Cienfuegos (or Jagua), is located in the south central portion of Cuba and is the most important local natural resource. The entire economic and social life of the region revolves around it, and it has influenced local traditions, customs, and legends since the nineteenth century. The shoreline and its attendant activities (such as fishing, beach activities, and scuba diving) are deeply rooted in Cienfuegos culture. The bay is nearly landlocked, being what is called a 'pocket bay', with a surface area of 88.46 km2, a shoreline of 100 km, and a total volume of 1.84 km3. It is 19 km long and 7.5 km at its widest point, with an average depth of roughly 9.5 m. Nature has divided it into two basins separated by a shoal (Las Cuevas) with an average depth of 1.5 m. This greatly influences water circulation within the ecosystem.

The access channel is narrow and tortuous, being 3.6 km long and between 30 and 50 m deep toward the middle. Its geography imposes limits on navigation because it forms a canyon containing coral reefs along with steeply eroded cliffs. Within the bay, there are 50 promontories and 20 coves or inlets, three of which are used as shelter for small and mid-sized vessels during high winds. The most important coastal formations of the bay include rocky and sandy beaches, mangrove forests, marl deposits, sea grape groves, coastal scrubland (manigua), and dry bush. Vegetation is degraded in the eastern sector. The bay is dotted with 14 small islands or cays, the largest of which are Cayo Carenas, Cayo Ocampo, and Cayo Alcatraz - Source: León et al. 2001 in IDRC-CRDI Canada here .

"The facts were that he charged the same as better places in Cienfuegos, for small rooms with terrible mattresses. The public spaces at Finca los Colorados are very attractive, but he charged more for beer, soft drinks and water than any place we'd stayed, including Havana.

Jose responded mainly with sob stories. The frequent water problems weren't his fault; it was the power company. He'd get better mattresses if he could afford it (though he can afford travel to Europe and the U.S.) The higher prices for food and drink weren't his fault; it was the taxes, and transportation expenses, and so on." wallyandbarbara.com
