Vacationers looking for a resort-style Caribbean getaway on an uninhabited island can head to Cayo Largo del Sur in the Canarreos Archipelago. Miles of powdery white sand beaches and shimmering clear water are the big draw here. Those wanting to venture out of the resorts can do it best by renting a scooter or a Jeep.

There’s one main road on this 17-mile-long, 2-mile-wide island; the few side roads are mainly sand. El Pueblito is the only village on the island; travelers can visit a turtle farm, dine in local restaurants, and visit a dive center there. Resorts offer an array of watersports. It is illegal to remove the starfish from Playa Sirena as well any coral or other marine life, whether living or dead. Cayo Largo del Sur
