Cuba: Excellent Beaches in the Caribbean

The Cuban archipelago, which has a strategic location for tourism, stands in the Caribbean region for its excellent beaches, which are an attractive option for thousands of foreign tourists who visit the island nation every year.

Exuberant nature, traditions and history are complemented by more than 110,000 square kilometers and nearly 5,800 kilometers of coasts, including 600 kilometers of excellent beaches.

Beaches, combined with the tropical climate, white fine sands and warm crystal-clear waters, are a proposition that vacationers cannot refuse.

Cuba's average temperature is 24.6 degrees Celsius (76.2 degrees Fahrenheit), so many domestic and foreign tourists decide to spend their vacations in dozens of beaches throughout Cuba.

The Cuban capital offers excellent beaches as part of the so-called Circuito Azul (Blue Circuit), which runs along 15 kilometers on the north coast and where Santa María del Mar stands out as one of the most beautiful beaches in the region.

In western Matanzas province, the world-famous Varadero beach, which runs along 22 kilometers on the Hicacos peninsula, is one of the most visited destinations by foreign vacationers.

But not all Cuban beaches bear the color of snow. There are black-sand beaches such as Bibijagua Beach, on Isla de la Juventud (Isle of Youth), and brown-sand beaches like Marea del Portillo, in eastern Granma province.

In the central region of the island is the Ancón Peninsula, which boasts one of the best beaches in Cuba's south coast, offering divers breathtakingly beautiful sea bottoms and large colonies of black corals.

In Villa Clara, a causeway over the sea connects the main island with Cayo Santa María (13 kilometers long and two kilometers wide), where visitors can practice several nautical sports, including scuba diving and snorkeling.

In that scenario, the Cuban capital, rich in traditions, Spanish colonial architecture and culture, also offers a wide range of tourist facilities.

Havana's historic heart holds most of the city's museums, churches, cultural centers and buildings from the Spanish colonial period, including 33,000 buildings, most of which were built from the 18th to the 19th centuries.

Traditional tourist options are complemented by adventure tourism, especially in the country's mountains.

Cuba's mountain ecosystems are also influenced by the fast-growing tourism sector, so many options include excursions and overnight stays in those areas.

The Caribbean Island has four mountain ranges that cover about 21 percent of the country's territory, 37 percent of which is covered by forests.
