Top choices of exotic tropical beaches abound in Caribbean, for some reasons some the finest coastal destinations have remained unsung.  If diving into opulence in Varadero doesn’t excite you, there are numerous unmarred beaches waiting for you and the best part is you can have them all to yourself. Fortunately, these coastal sands have skipped development and have held on onto their indigenous appeal which gives you the true essence of Cuba.

This province of Cuba is famous for colonial town of Trinidad and its cobbled streets. Just 12 km southwest of Trinidad lies the ravishing Playa Ancon which is a glittering string of sand on a bending curve of the peninsula. This picturesque beach is ideal for swimming, but if not a perfect for lying on the sand as you might catch the attention of fleas.
It also gloats about a separate marina where you can plan local fishing trips, and voyages to the off-shore, heavenly group of islands-Jardines de la Reina.

This enigmatic fishing town is a good escape from the crowds, its coastal side is blemished with tumble down colonial villas, which the locals wish to keep veiled. The best beach here is Playa Caletones – a wild stretch of sand.
Lying on the sand and plunging not only in the sea but also in many freshwater swimming holes is the favorite activity of this untainted holiday destination. Talk to the local to know about some of the most iconic cave diving on the planet just a stone’s throw from beach.

The Forbidden western tip of Cuba puts on the table some of the major attractions which the mainland has to offer, 60 Km of sheer greenery swathed with mesmerizing beaches regarded with deep respect by travelers who have been privileged enough to see it, of course with the zeal to explore.

The off-white sweep of sand at Maria la Gorda is almost fully vacant except for few people who come here to enjoy some amazing diving offshore. Some scattered sharp rocks might be hurdle to your flawless swimming experience but overall the beach is phenomenal.
