Main Beaches in Cuba

Varadero (Atlantic Ocean):

Considered not only one of the best beaches of Cuba but in the entire Caribbean, amazing for its 20 km of white sands and turquoise waters, wrapped in the most exuberant vegetation that covers an aquatic paradise and keeping a radiant sun throughout the year.

Choosing the best beach of Varadero is a tough thing to do, since its more than 50 hotels keep the treasures of private beaches. Nevertheless, if you’re looking for something exceptional, the best idea is going to Playa Coral close to Matanzas, with a coral reef that you can reach by swimming. In here you’ll see over 30 species of coral and an extraordinary marine fauna of multicolored fishes and exotic mollusks.

Cayo Largo del Sur (Caribbean Sea):

Small Caribbean island, part of the archipelago de los Canarreos, home to paradisiac surroundings of tropical vegetation, coral reefs and a marine life of impressive biodiversity.

Its main attraction is the 20 km of white sands and turquoise waters, where beaches of sophisticated hotel infrastructure and hidden virgin beaches blend. Among its best beaches are the almost virgin Playa Tortuga, the tourist Playa Sirena with all-inclusive hotels, and the curious beach of Cayo Iguana, where you can take the sun along with the lovely colorful iguanas.

Cayo Guillermo (Atlantic Ocean):

Part of the paradisiac complex of cays known as Archipelago Sabana-Camaguey or Jardines del Rey, a place of idyllic landscapes of tropical vegetation, exotic birds, coral reefs, white sands and turquoise waters.

Among its beaches, the most beautiful one probably is Playa Pilar, an almost virgin beach protected by an immense sand dune, with warm waters that allow you watching the multicolored fishes, star fishes and corals.

Cayo Coco (Atlantic Ocean):

Also part of the Archipelago Jardines del Ret, an island of exotic landscapes similar to Cayo Guillermo, differentiating from each other because it has a bigger tourist development, housing numerous first-class hotels, artificial lakes and a wide recreational offer.

Its 22 km of beaches are characterized by their transparent waters, infinite coral reefs to dive and extensive white sand strops interrupted only by rocks and cliffs. Among the most famous beaches are Las Coloradas, Playa Larga, El Paso and Playa Flamencos.
