The direct distance between Jamaica and Cuba is about 381 kilometers (237 miles) in a straight line (great-circle distance) across the Caribbean Sea. This is the shortest distance between the two islands. If you’re planning travel, you might also want practical routing details:

• Direct air travel distance is typically cited around 381 km, with flight times usually under 1 hour for non-stop routes, depending on aircraft and wind conditions.
• Sea routes, if available, would follow longer paths around coastlines and islands, so they would be substantially longer than the straight-line distance.

Would you like this converted to miles to kilometers per hour for a specific flight speed, or do you need travel options and typical durations between major airports (e.g., Kingston to Havana)?
