![]() Ultimately even if you do manage to pull off a miraculous hydraulic land vehicle, the legal restrictions from the Cuban government about sailing ships should make you rethink your choices. In all seriousness though, driving from Florida (Key West) to Cuba requires drastic measures and efforts, none of which a regular tourist would want to do. If you are adventurous enough, you might even want to hire a water car and ‘drive’ your way into Cuban lands – if the Cuban government overlooks your enthusiasm and effort that is. So if anybody wants to ‘drive’ the waters, please seek relevant advice from them. Remember that Cuba is an island surrounded by water and ‘driving’ in that water from Florida, let alone Key West isn’t exactly what any average person would want (No, seriously you can’t drive on water).īut did you know that there were actually a group of people who ‘drove’ from Cuba to Florida? Yes, these ingenious people built a ‘Floating Truck’ to cross the strait and please don’t laugh before you know the truth – they were actually successful in doing so. So it is best avoided.īut if sharks are your thing and you want to be the next record-setter, who’s to stop you? ![]() It has to be noted that even though shark attacks are rare, long-distance swimming violates all conditions and tips for reducing the risk of shark attacks, such as swimming close to the shore, swimming in the daylight etc. If Diana could do so much as a long-distance swimmer without a shark cage, then maybe swimming from Key West isn’t that dangerous. She dived straight into the balmy waters and swam non-stop for 53 hours without a shark cage. ![]() That said, you can swim the waters between Cuba and Key West, just as 64-year-old Diana Nyad did in 2013. Florida is also called the ‘shark attack capital of the world’. It is well known that the ocean stretching across the Florida straits to the Cuban waters is home to all kinds of fatal sharks. If swimming in the waters of the Arctic ice between Cuba and Key West has been one of your life goals – please don’t. Thus, none of the above-mentioned measures guarantees the Cuban view. As Cuba is only 90 miles south of Key West, with a high-powered telescope, your shots at viewing the streets and lights of Havana might not be an impossibility.ĭespite all this, it has to be mentioned that time and time again people have failed in their attempt to take in that legendary Cuban view from Key West. For the ideal view, one must get into it right before sunset. Time of the DayĬhoosing the right time of the day is also an essential aspect of nailing that Cuban view. Making sure that the weather is clear and stark is of utmost importance. If your visit to the Key West is during a rainy season, please kiss goodbye towards your view of the horizon. The weather absolutely cannot be cloudy or drizzly which could result in indistinct visibility. With the aid of the right instruments though, your chances of catching a glimpse of Cuba from Key West might not be a dream anymore. The fact remains that you cannot see Cuba from Key West – through the naked eye that is.
