The winter season in Sault Ste. Marie heats up with weekly flights to Cayo Coco with Sunwing

TORONTO, Nov. 09, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- This winter, Sault Ste.

Offering quintessential beach vacations in the Jardines del Rey island chain with a host of all inclusive resorts to call home, customers can recharge on Cayo Coco's white-sand shores, explore colourful coral reefs or spot exotic species in the surrounding everglades and mangroves, including one of the world's largest native pink flamingo colonies.

"As a popular vacation destination in Cuba for Sunwing travellers, our return to Sault Ste. Marie International Airport with Tuesday flights to Cayo Coco is something to celebrate," said Andrew Dawson, President of Tour Operations for Sunwing. "With so much to offer in destination, our customers in Sault Ste. Marie can do more, explore more and celebrate more in a paradise that they love with easy flight access from their local airport."
