Yuraguanal Beach, in the eastern Cuban province of Holguín, offers singular attractions to the region's tourist scenario with a combination of sun, sea and environment.
Located barely 53 kilometers from the provincial capital, Yuraguanal is surrounded by an environment of exuberant vegetation and natural colors.
The region where the beach is located is surrounded by mountains that provide an additional attraction to the coastal landscape.
In addition, due to its proximity to the Bahía de Naranjo Natural Reserve, it holds an important ecosystem in close harmony with the modernity of hotels.
The white fine sand and warm crystal-clear water of the Caribbean Sea, which provides wide shades of blue, grant Yuraguanal Beach a notable category within Holguín's tourism sector.
There, tourists can enjoy nautical activities, swim with dolphins, dive, ride horses and practice ecotourism modalities like trekking and bird watching.
Linked to Yuraguanal is the Rocazul Biopark, which is one of the variants of the Christopher Columbus Park and was named after the color of some of its landscapes due to the presence of serpentine rocks.
The park has an area of 496 hectares, including 148 hectares of natural forests inhabited by more than 115 plant species, many of which are endemic.
The park was designed to preserve the coastal ecosystem and commercialize the region's valuable tourist product on the basis of environmental preservation.
In addition, the Bahía de Naranjo Aquarium, which can only be accessed by boat from the nearby shore, complements the tourist offers.
Trained dolphins show their abilities and share the sea with tourists who are willing to enjoy the adventure of swimming with them.
The inlet where the aquarium was built, formerly considered an excellent refuge for corsairs and pirates, holds tourist boats and protects them from the wind and waves.
About 30 kilometers of natural beaches, archeological settlements, caves and pristine keys are part of a tourist offer that is complemented by a six-kilometer-long coral reef, which is excellent for scuba diving and snorkeling.
The coastal landscape of Bahía de Naranjo is also integrated into the region's rich flora, with autochthonous species that have been zealously preserved from intruding human hands, turning the region into an exclusive site for nature enthusiasts.
Yuraguanal also has a hotel that offers five swimming pools, a sauna and a spa that provides a wide range of treatments to make tour vacations more relaxing.
The hotel also has a gymnasium, table tennis, billiards and several nautical sports like windsurf, catamaran, kayak and diving.
