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.
