You may see one of these two names when you are in Cuba, but don’t let it confuse you. There is plenty to appreciate when you get there, as you will see when you discover this beach based area of Cuba.

While it is known as Havana Beach, it could more accurately be called Havana Beaches. This is due to the fact that there are several beaches here to look at. It’s good news for those who love nothing better than to recline on a beach during the day. You could move from one to the other on successive days if you want, taking in a different view each time.

Bacuranao is one of the beaches, followed by Santa Maria Beach and Playa Guanabo. Any of them will provide everything you could want and need from a nice beach, so it is not hard to see why lots of people head to Playas del Este every year.

This part of Cuba was also among the first areas to really get a taste of the tourist business. This means you will find plenty of tourist facilities worth using – it’s certainly good to know you won’t be left with little to do when you get there. It is good for families as well, for that same reason.

Havana is obviously a good place for newbies to Cuba to stay as well. Havana itself has much to share with you, including museums and much of its local history too. So it can be a good bet to stay near one of these beaches for more than one reason, as you can see.

The main thing is to consider which beach you would like to be closest to, and to check out the wide range of accommodation that is available. Some areas have more choice than others, and if you are visiting with the whole family a beach house could be a good bet. This will give you the best of all worlds and a nice place to return to that’s close by every evening. What could be better than that?
