Shopping

If you're looking to take home some memorable souvenirs from your Cayo Coco vacation, your best bets include rum and Cuban cigars (though Americans cannot bring these home). While a few stores and shops can be found within the hotels the best area to go for authentic local wares is the open air market where local artists display their merchandise.
