The beach is buzzing with life and people who all agree about Varadero’s beauty. Once you’ve experienced Varadero Beach, you won’t forget the combination of outstanding beach and wonderful atmosphere.

The area around the beach offers every opportunity for you to scuba dive, participate in sports and water sports, visit the area’s many restaurants, bask in the sun or go on excursion both above and beneath Varadero’s crystal-clear waters.

Jibacoa – Cuba’s best kept secret

On the north coast of Cuba, surrounded by stunning scenery, you will find the lovely little town of Jibacoa, located on the coast between Havana and Varadero.

The beach exudes a relaxed atmosphere and there are only a few hotels there. Wind right down and enjoy the fact that the masses have yet to discover this small, hidden-away gem of a beach.

The sand at Jibacoa is as white and soft as silk. The water is crystal-clear and all manner of beautiful shades of blue. Behind the beach is a lush, hilly hinterland, perfect for a hike if you’re feeling energetic.

When you’re done soaking up the warm rays of the sun or hiking in the beautiful scenery, you can put on your snorkelling or scuba diving gear and go on an underwater adventure. There are two different shipwrecks here: a sunken freighter and a military ship.

We offer Jibacoa as an extension option on selected tours.
