What an amazing place! This is the best beach I’ve ever been on in my life! Truly breath taking!

Amazing nature 3h from La Habana. Long sand coast with many resorts and very good gastronomic offer.

If you’re from a country where people don’t litter on the beach you’ll be disappointed. Was covered in rubbish when I was there. I hope local authorities act on this because once word gets out the beach has rubbish everywhere, tourists won’t want to come.

One of the nicest beaches I have ever been to. The sand is white and soft and the sea and an amazing blue and is as clear as can be.

All I can say varadero beach is gorgeous 😍. Its about a 2 hour drive from havana. The sand and ocean is pristine. The water clear and blue. It's not overcrowded. Only thing is the Pina colada drink wasn't good. There are beach chairs for rent. When we reached all the chairs were sold out. Overall the beach is 100%

Was here last November. A place for tranquility and harmony. Good any time of the day.

Review of Varadero Beach – Cuba “The Pristine Jewel of Cuba’s Northern Coast” Varadero Beach is one of the most famous and sought-after beach destinations in Cuba, renowned for its pristine white sand, crystal-clear waters, and vibrant resort atmosphere. Located on the Hicacos Peninsula, just a few hours from Havana, Varadero has earned its reputation as a top Caribbean getaway, attracting both international tourists and locals alike. Historically, Varadero’s development as a tourism hub began in the early 20th century when it was discovered by wealthy Cuban families seeking a relaxing escape. In the 1930s and 1940s, luxury estates were built along the coastline, and the area gradually gained popularity as a vacation destination. Over the years, Varadero evolved into the premier beach resort town in Cuba, with the establishment of numerous hotels, resorts, and recreational facilities that cater to visitors from around the world. Varadero Beach itself stretches for approximately 20 kilometers (12 miles) along the northern coast of Cuba, offering an idyllic setting with powdery white sand and shallow, turquoise waters. The beach is perfect for swimming, sunbathing, and water sports, including snorkeling, diving, windsurfing, and sailing. The calm, warm waters make it an ideal spot for families and anyone looking to unwind in a tropical paradise. In addition to its natural beauty, Varadero is home to several notable attractions, including the Cueva de Ambrosio (Ambrosio Cave), a prehistoric cave featuring ancient petroglyphs, and the Parque Josone, a lush park offering boating and nature trails. The area is also known for its vibrant nightlife, with numerous bars, restaurants, and clubs offering a taste of Cuban music, food, and cocktails. One of the unique aspects of Varadero Beach is its proximity to the Cueva de los Musulmanes (Cave of the Muslims), a historic site tied to local legend. The cave is believed to have been used by pirates in the 17th century as a hideout, adding an element of mystery and intrigue to the area. Why visit Varadero Beach? Varadero remains a symbol of Cuba’s natural beauty and hospitality. The combination of beautiful beaches, clear waters, and a wide range of activities makes it an ideal destination for those looking to relax, explore, or enjoy Cuban culture. Whether lounging on the beach, exploring caves, or dancing to the rhythms of Cuban music, Varadero offers an unforgettable experience for all.

Whenever in Havana you’re gonna wanna take your family to the most beautiful beach in the country Varadero Beach! It’s about a 2 Hour from Havana but it is absolutely worth it. There’s a couple stops on the way. There are a few bars and restaurants in town. But for the beach I would highly recommend buying bottles of water snacks and sandwiches if possible for the beach. There is a floaty obstacle course for kids that’s fairly cheap there’s a lot of water toys and activities including snorkeling on a catamaran. Very fun very affordable the water is literally perfect! I’ve been to many beaches in around the world and this one so far is my favorite even better than Hawaii!

One of the most beautiful beaches I have ever visited—if not the best! Absolutely pristine! During our recent trip to Cuba, we spent most of our time on the beach, whether it was the private beach at our resort or the one near Varadero downtown. We enjoyed sunbathing, the lovely breeze throughout the week, mesmerizing sunsets, and simple walking. Truly peaceful!

Beautiful beach north east of Varadero that stretches well over a dozen kilometers. It has light and clear blue water and fish a plenty to view by snorkeling. This stretch is where the majority of the resorts are but you can enter the east part of the beach through the town of Varadero. The sunset viewing opportunities are also magnificent. This is one of the nicest and cleanest beaches in the world.
