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 offering only a glimpse of the life led by most Cubans, but there’s also a growing number of secluded, first class properties. Elsewhere there are small cliff-defined coves with pocket-sized beaches hosting smaller hotels. Off the coast, coral atoll islands have been left in their natural state offering a more intimate, private beach experience. The remote western and eastern tips of the island, Pinar del Rio and Baracoa harbour some of the loveliest unspoilt beaches, with a rural backdrop of craggy hills sheltering quaint colonial villages.

Where to go when - our guide to Caribbean cayes and coast

Cayo Coco

The weather in Caribbean cayes and coast is wide and varied

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. The drier season between Dec and May offers the clearest conditions for spotting abundant marine life when diving and snorkelling. The wet season from Jun to Nov is hotter and more humid, with heavy rains and the chance of hurricanes.
