- Nature
Flamingo colony
1 May – 31 Aug · usuallyBirdlife seasonThe shallow lagoons on the cay's south side hold Cuba's second-largest flamingo colony, visible from the causeway at a distance. American flamingos across the wider Caribbean nest roughly March to August, when the birds concentrate at mud-mound colonies rather than spreading out to feed. Source ↗
- Hazard
Hurricane season
1 Jun – 30 NovHurricane Irma made a direct hit on 9 September 2017, tearing up the resort strip and the airport before the island could be fully evacuated. The cay hangs off the mainland by a single causeway, and that road is the first thing closed when a system tracks close. Source ↗
