What travelers are saying

Well worth the bumpy ride from Baracoa, this beach is deserted in the morning and early afternoon (except for the vendors off course), untill the first hikers from El Yunque start to arrive.

Great trip from Baracoa, not far at all, and you can stay with the lovely family of Hidiolvis, at their casa particular!

This was a real find - very unspoilt (although the atmosphere can change a bit if a coach load of tourists arrives as part of a day trip).

Best beach in the area

This beach is about a 1/2 ride outside of Baracoa and a great place to spend the day. The reef is a bit of a swim off the shore, but there is some good snorkeling closer in just north of the last restaurant

a hidden pearl

take a room in Villa Maguana and enjoy the sea and sun in a quiet and exclusive location. Only 12 rooms in beautifully build wooden houses. The Villa survived the hurricane of 2012 quite well and the service and beautiful nature are untouched.

One of the better beaches in the area. If you have spent enough time in town and you are looking for a lazy day on the beach, be sure to take the bumpy ride there.
