Latest reviews on Guantanamo's beaches

Playa Maguana
10 Harold Chambers

The pulpo restaurant is highly recommended due to the amazing staff. However, the left side of the beach is the absolute highlight.

Playa de Miel
4 Lorenzo Di Piazza

Our experience at this beach in Baracoa was less than ideal. While the beach itself was pleasant enough, we were unfortunately met with an unexpected danger. The beach is situated near the mouth of a river, and during rainstorms, the river water flow increases, causing a drop in sea water temperature. This drop in temperature attracts jellyfish, known as Agua viva or Agua mala, which are much more dangerous than those found in Italy. Regrettably, my girlfriend and several others we met at the nearby polyclinic were stung by these jellyfish, resulting in burns on their faces and bodies, as well as severe allergic reactions. We were forced to cut our vacation short as my girlfriend had to take cortisone and antibiotics to recover. Shockingly, there were no signs or warnings of this danger, even though the locals were aware of it. It's crucial to exercise caution when visiting this beach to avoid any potential harm.

Playa de Cajobabo
10 Gabrielle Garcia D.

A place of great historical significance, where the renowned José Martí once disembarked, is a stunning beach that offers a truly unique experience. The natural beauty of the beach is unmatched, with crystal-clear waters and pristine sands that stretch for miles. The atmosphere is serene and peaceful, making it the perfect spot for relaxation and unwinding. The beach is also home to a variety of marine life, providing ample opportunity for snorkeling and other aquatic activities. Overall, this beach is a must-visit destination for anyone seeking a truly unforgettable experience.

Playa Baracoa
3 Fabin.

The beach can be reached via a lengthy walkway, but unfortunately, some locals have taken over the area and are charging a fee of 2 CUCs to access a small section of the beach. Overall, it's not a worthwhile destination to spend time at.

Playa Punta de Maisi
8 Matt Fausser

This beach in Cuba is absolutely amazing. The sand is incredibly fine, although the waves are too powerful for swimming. However, the country and its people are incredibly friendly, and the small hotel we stayed at was also fantastic. I would give it a rating of 99 out of 100!

Playa Yateritas
