Wanderlust World Wanderlust World Cuba sits at the crossroads of the Caribbean, Gulf of Mexico, and Atlantic. Its maritime neighbors (with approximate distances from Cuban shores):
| Neighbor | Direction | Distance | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| United States (Florida Keys) | North | ~90 mi (145 km) | Key West closest point |
| Bahamas | North/Northeast | ~50 mi (80 km) | Cay Sal Bank, Bimini |
| Haiti | East | ~48 mi (77 km) | Windward Passage |
| Jamaica | South/Southwest | ~87 mi (140 km) | |
| Cayman Islands (UK) | South | ~150 mi (240 km) | Grand Cayman |
| Mexico (Yucatán Peninsula) | West | ~130 mi (210 km) | Cabo Catoche |
Note: The original list duplicated Jamaica and misordered directions. Haiti is east; Jamaica south-southwest; Mexico west across the Yucatán Channel.
Cuba's EEZ (Exclusive Economic Zone) borders all these nations. Relations vary: close ties with Mexico, complex history with US, growing tourism links with Caymans, migration flows with Haiti.
