Governor Diego Velázquez named these keys and islets the name of Jardines de la Reina (Queen's Gardens). They include Cayo Caguama (Loggerhead Turtle), off the southern coast of Camagüey, a truly impressive example of lush, untamed nature. The islets have small, sandy beaches, and the surrounding water contains coral reefs -a veritable paradise for scuba divers- some of which go out for 70 km. (nearly 45 miles). Fishermen can fish Tarpon, Palometa and Bonefish. Scuba divers may also hand-feed silky and bull sharks, an experience you will never forget.
