Guardalavaca Cuba, Eastern Cuba

Situated on the lovely north coast of the island country of Cuba, Guardalavaca is a beachy resort town that is smaller, but more authentic in giving the Cuban experience. You will find resorts rising from the fine, white sand of the breathtaking beaches, on the backdrop of emerald, green hills, and forests. This illustrious beauty has drawn many visitors, both from around the world and from every corner of Cuba. Fidel Castro himself had inaugurated a resort here with a short dip in the pool.

For day activities you can lounge on a beach chair, visit any one of the local museums, or take a trip to the local beach bar and restaurant. However, the crowning jewel of Guardalavaca is the large stretches of gorgeous beaches. The nearby beaches of Pesquero and Esmeralda are gems among the gems. Located only 5 km west of Guardalavaca is the celebrated Esmeralda beach, famous for enclosed waters teeming with lively marine life and coral reefs. Pesquero Beach offers a wonderful spot perfect for snorkeling and swimming with the schools of playful fish that call Pesquero Beach home.

Guardalavaca, Cuba is often overlooked in favor of the larger, more luxurious resort towns in Cuba, but those who overlook are missing out on stunning scenery, abundant aquatic life, and a laid-back vibe that draws both tourists and locals alike.
