This beach may be small, but it's a real hotspot for Cubans in the summer. My partner Gaétanne and I spent a whole month here in March 2017 and it quickly became our go-to spot. It's so exclusive that we were practically the only ones there most of the time. And let's be real, who needs comfort and toilets when you've got the sun, sand, and sea? It's the perfect place to disconnect from the world and just enjoy the simple things in life.

I absolutely loved my time at the beach! Even though I had to cut my visit short, I still couldn't get enough of the stunning scenery and relaxing atmosphere. I'm already dreaming of my next trip back to Matanzas, where I can really take my time and soak up all the beauty this place has to offer. I highly recommend visiting this beach - it's truly a slice of paradise!
