I had a delightful experience at Playa De Este beach near Havana, earning it a solid 4/5 rating. Being from Florida, I have had the privilege of enjoying some of the most beautiful beaches along the coast, so I'm quite picky when it comes to beaches. As a passionate beach lover and reviewer, I visited this beach in May, just before the peak season, and was pleased to find that it wasn't too crowded or dirty.
I hopped on the bus route and made my first stop at Santa Maria, but I would recommend another stop where there are hotels and more food options. The beach I was at was "sold out" of food and most drinks, except for lobster, which I wouldn't recommend ordering while sunbathing. However, I don't think any of the stops along the strip are significantly better than another, but I do believe that accommodations may be better at another spot.
While the beach may not be the most breathtaking one out there,

Although it may seem appealing to some, the beach that is just a short public transit ride away from the bustling heart of Havana is not all it's cracked up to be. While it may appear to be a paradise on the surface, the reality is that the beach is overcrowded and noisy, with very little space to truly relax and enjoy the natural beauty of the surroundings. In addition, the transit system itself can be unreliable and uncomfortable, making the journey to and from the beach a stressful and unpleasant experience. All in all, while it may be tempting to escape the city for a day at the beach, this particular destination is not worth the hassle and disappointment.
