Guantánamo Province
Guantánamo is the easternmost province of Cuba. Its capital is also called Guantánamo. Other towns include Baracoa. The province has the only land border of the U.S. Navy base at Guantánamo Bay.

The province is only away from Haiti at its closest point, across the Windward Passage (close enough to see lights on Haiti on a clear night).
