BAY OF PIGS MUSEUM

We’ll visit the historic site of America’s failed Bay of Pigs invasion, along with a small museum dedicated to the conflict.

Playa Girón is home to crystal-clear waters. But most Americans know it as a landing site for the failed Bay of Pigs Invasion. We’ll relax beachside and visit a small museum containing artifacts and accounts from the historic event.

Cuba’s victory in this conflict strengthened ties with the Soviet Union, cemented Castro as a national hero, and helped lay the groundwork for the Cuban Missile Crisis one year later.
