Mi Cayito

Habana del Este


A small bar-restaurant reached via a raised boardwalk that overlooks Laguna Itabo, a small lagoon abutting Playa Boca Ciega, Mi Cayito is a quiet spot surrounded by nature. It sells solid if unremarkable Cuban food.

You can rent kayaks or paddle boats at the dock from CUC$1.50 per hour.
