Beaches

Cayo Paredon Grande (a.k.a. Cayo Paredon) boasts three very beautiful beaches. The longest is Playa Los Pinos (5,3 km), it stretches from North to South towards Punta El barril. The second longest is Playa Los Lirios (3,7 km) facing north-west and stretching from Punta del Suroest up to Punta El Faro where the lighthouse (Faro) is located. The third one is Playa del Norte (1.34 km long), facing north-east, this stretch is the continuation of Playa Los Pinos. The southern and western parts of the island are mostly mangroves and lagoons in an area called Ensenada de Paredon.

These beaches are made of very fine white sand bathed by crystal clear turquoise waters, the perfect spot to relax under the sun, and a walker's paradise. All beaches in Cuba are public, so access is unrestricted. These lovely soft sand beaches also have a gradual slope into the water and gentle waves, making them ideal for swimming for the whole family.

In the summer of 2021, massive beach restoration works were carried out in Playa del Norte, where the majority of the new hotels are located. Tens of thousands of cubic meters of offshore sand have been pumped onto the beach creating a beautiful, more stable and much wider beach.
