Havana’s premier marina was constructed in 1953 in the small coastal community of Santa Fe. After the Revolution it was nationalized and named after Castro’s favorite Yanqui . The marina has four 800m-long channels, a dive center, motley shops and restaurants and two hotels (one currently disused), so is only worth visiting if you’re docking your boat or utilizing the watersports facilities.
Like much of Cuba’s infrastructure, the place retains a strangely abandoned air and is crying out for a renovation.
