A sugar port that once shipped the output of central mills like Macareño (1921) and Santa Marta (1926) via a dedicated railway built in 1923, Santa Cruz del Sur on Cuba's southern coast, about 80 km from Camagüey, never fully recovered from the devastating 1932 hurricane that killed thousands of residents. No verifiable current data on cargo volumes or scheduled shipping exists, so the port is best described honestly as having limited commercial freight relevance today. For bulk and sugar exports from Camagüey province, the deep-water port of Nuevitas is the commercially active alternative.
