The touristic city of Varadero, located 130 km from Havana, spreads over 30 km, approximately 20 km of which are along the coast. Sitting northeast from the city of Cárdenas, on the Hicacos peninsula in the Matanzas province, Varadero is home to Cuba’s most famous beaches. In fact, the longest, most well-known beach on this peninsula of the Caribbean bears the same name.
On Varadero’s idyllic beaches with fine white sand, warm waters and endless turquoise tones, swimmers can venture out into the sea for several metres without getting fully immersed. This is an attractive feature both for adults and families travelling with small children.
