Spot info
Soft white sand, enough room to launch. The best place is at the right just in front of the flat water. The beach has a half U shape what makes it perfect for beginners, it also has sideshore wind that will take you to the shore in case of an emergency.
This beach is a 10 minutes boat ride from Chichiriviche. Once off the boat you can admire a marvellous huge extension of white sand and crystal clear waters and natural pools. This beach is part of a natural reserve, so there's not much there except for a great scene. Better to bring your own drink / food.
The beach continues for 1 km, then some big rocks separate it from playa Mayorquina.
The ticket boat for Playa Varadero is about 40.000 bolivares for the whole boat....if u are a group u can share!
