Playas del Este is a vast littoral about 15 kilometers long, full of white sand beaches surrounded by coconut palms.

It stretches from Bacuranao Beach –12 kilometers east of Havana– to Guanabo Beach –27 kilometers east of Havana.

Between these two one can find four other beaches: Tarará, El Mégano, Santa María del Mar and Boca Ciega. All of them are excellent options for tourists who want to spend a day at the beach without leaving the capital. Opposed to other beaches in Cuba where one can only find tourists, Playas del Este is very popular among the habaneros, who can frequently enjoy these warm waters thanks to their closeness to the city.
