In the north coast is the Sabana-Camagüey Cays, place of transit and nesting of numerous species of migratory birds and the greatest natural reserve of pink flamingo in America.
To the south, the Jardines de la Reina cays, an exotic and wild natural region, presents abundant coral reefs of wide biodiversity and some sandy beaches of little extension.
Two mountain clusters of low elevation stand out in the plain landscape: Sierra de Cubitas to the north is notable for the canyons and pass that cut it, deep and transversely. The presence of caves with secondary formations and with paleontological and archeological interest is considerable; in the Sierra de Najasa, in the south, stands the fossil woods, among other notable natural elements. The main elevation is the Tuabaquey hill, 330 meters high.
The hydrography of Camagüey is represented by Caonao, San Pedro, Máximo and Saramaguacán rivers, and the Jimaguayú, Porvenir, Amistad Cubano-Bulgara and Muñoz dams.
