English: View of Cuba taken during ISS Expedition 2.

• South coast, Caribbean Sea

Cauto River on the lower edge, middle of picture, with its sandy, meandering estuary easily seen as it reaches the gulf of Guacanayabo here in Río Cauto municipality in Granma Province.
Further left (north-west), the coast reaches Las Tunas Province with the municipalities of Jobabo, Colombia and Las Tunas. It then passes onto Camagüey Province with Santa Cruz del Sur, that town at the top of the bump made by the coast.
Continuing left (west-north-west), there is Punta Macurijies (municipality of Vertientes, Camagüey Province); the bay (ensenada) of Santa Maria (half on Vertientes, half on Florida municipalities, Camagüey Prov.). The cayo about 25 km north-west of that Santa Maria bay is cayo Tio Joaquin, one of the cayos Ana Maria (Ciego de Ávila Province).

• North coast, Old Bahama Channel (see ) (Atlantic Ocean)

The north coast of mainland Cuba, in this area, is lined with a series of islands or cayos, themselves surrounded by a galaxy of islets.
In the upper right corner, one of these islets is Cayo Cruz, here showing as a tiny elongated comma; despite its small size it shows rather well, thanks to the intensity of the whiteness that lays between cayo Cruz itself and cayo Romano, the nearest larger island to the south of cayo Cruz.
Cayo Megano Grande is the islet next left (west) to cayo Cruz. They both are in Camagüey Province (the edge of the picture is just behind the limit of Ciego de Ávila province).
Following east (right), the first big green spot after cayo Cruz is the eastern end of cayo Romano - where is also found the highest point of the cayo: Silla de Romano, 62 m. altitude. The next green spot is cayo Guajaba, then cayo Sabinal which closes the north side of the bay of Nuevitas (here half-surrounded by 2 larger clouds). Still following east, the coast comes into Las Tunas Province and to the bay of Manatí, the bay of Malagueta, the double bay of Puerto Padre (occidental part) and of Chaparra (oriental part).
Further east and near the right edge of the picture, the coast comes onto Gibara in Holguín Province, with the small bay of Gibara and, next east to it, the bay of Bariay (the map shows cayo Bariay in the middle of the bay of Bariay, and a system of 3 bays within the bay).

The land then advances into the sea, with on its coast Guardalavaca and further inland Banes. We also see the whole bay of Banes and part of the bay of Nipe.
