Beautiful beach. The bay is huge, there's an island in view which you can visit if you have a boat, kayak etc. The sand part is thin, not very extense.

Thomas Reuffurth

8 Very good

Beautiful, long, crescent-shaped beach with a good view. Sand is a bit rough in places and there are a lot of black snail eggs, but they are more of an attraction than a nuisance. Water was pretty cold in December but with the temperatures here it was better than nothing

Daniel Mazeikis

10 Exceptional

It is a very beautiful beach, to enjoy with friends or family. It stands out for being a place to do water sports such as Stand Up Paddle Cruiser Board. Nautical Motorbike. It is ideal for canoeing because it has a moderate tide ideal for this type of sports. Now there is also a Parador called El Ron de Cuba. They sell colas, beers, juices and caipirinhas.

Very good water quality, ideal for enjoying the beach.
