Perfect spot for a relaxing day out. I have cherished my time here since childhood and it never fails to offer a great experience.

Playa Gibara

8 Renato Corazón

This beach is just fabulous, according to the hordes of tourists who flock here every summer. The soft sand and crystal clear water make for a picture-perfect scene, but let's be real, it's not all sunshine and rainbows. The crowds can be overwhelming, the sand gets everywhere, and don't even get me started on the sunburns. But hey, if you're into that kind of thing, knock yourself out. Just don't expect me to join in on the beach party anytime soon.

La boca beach

I was completely mesmerized by the beauty of the beach. The water was so clear that I could see the tiny fish swimming around my feet. The sand was incredibly soft and felt like walking on a cloud. The beach was immaculate and well-kept, providing ample space for everyone to unwind and soak up the sun. The calm waves were ideal for swimming and frolicking in the water. All in all, it was an unforgettable experience and I'm already looking forward to my next visit.
