The powdery white sands and inviting turquoise waters of Cuba’s exquisite beaches are ideal for swimming, water sports or simply unwinding on a sun lounger.

Overview

Cuba’s exquisite beaches are famous for their unpolluted sugar-white sands and warm, turquoise waters, safe for swimming and water sports. Some beaches have large all-inclusive resort hotels, but elsewhere there are intimate coves with pocket-sized beaches, hosting smaller hotels. Off the coast, coral atoll islands have been left in their natural state offering a more private beach experience. The remote western and eastern tips of the island, Pinar del Rio and Baracoa harbour, host some of the loveliest beaches, with a rural backdrop of craggy hills sheltering quaint colonial villages.
