5 Beaches in Havana That You Shouldn't Miss

July 30, 2021 Marissa Gamble

A city trapped in time, Havana captures the imagination like no other. Faded glamour meets careful colonial-era reconstruction with a backdrop of irresistible color. Walk El Malecón, the walkway bordering the ocean; visit Old Havana and the Catedral de San Cristóbal; and listen for salsa music, open-air bazaars and parties that last all night.

Playas de Este

A famed Cuban beach ideal for lying out in the sun.

Took a 25 min private taxi driver to Playa Santa Maria. 6CUC for 2 chaises and an umbrella. Many vendors but none offensive and all respectful. Sand is fine powder... water so blue.

Santa Maria del Mar

Reviewed By DianaR634 - New York City, United States

I’ve been to this beach 4 times. During June, Feb and recently in August (twice). Coming from NY it’s a really nice beach. I’ve shared a cab and have also taken the tourist bus. Both leaving from the Plaza in front of the Hotel Inglaterra. The bus is 5 CUC round trip and drips you off at 3 different points. I recommend not getting off at the first stop if u intend on coming home later in the day if taking the bus. Only reason is that this is the last pickup on the bus if heading back to Havana and the bus may be filled before they get to you. So you may have to wait for a few buses before being picked up. The bus picks up till 7. If you take a cab many will set up a pick up time and spot to pick you up. Don’t worry they are very reliable. If it’s your first time I would suggest the Tropicoco stop. This stop has kayak rentals and also have rental lounge chairs and umbrellas (they all do) but this one even in the slow season has food service. So u can order drinks and food. I’ve had the fish. It’s always very good. There are also musical bands that pass by and will play music if u pay. Beach is clean, pretty clear and relaxing. If you are in Havana I suggest one day at the beach.
