Question

How many islands make up Cuba?

Answer 1

Cuba is an intricate archipelago that makes up the main/principle island (about two-thirds the size of Florida), the Isle of Youth (Isla de la Juventud)and about 4,195 keys (cayos) and islets.

Look at the links that contain the maps and places on the island.
