Cuba is a Caribbean country famous for its stunning beaches along the coast of the Atlantic Ocean in the north and the Caribbean Sea in the south of the country. Some of these beaches rank among the most beautiful in the world.
Everywhere you go alongside the coast, you’ll see beautiful tropical beaches with glistening turquoise waters, endless strips of white sand, and lazily swaying palm trees. So, here are the best beaches in Cuba.
