footnotes = Bahía Honda is a municipality and city in the Pinar del Río Province of Cuba. It is located on the northern shore of the island, in an inlet of the Florida Straits, km to mi|70|abbr=yes west of Havana. The sheltered bay that gives the name of the municipality contains an industrial port. It marks the eastern extend of the Colorados Archipelago.
