Mentioned above, there is no question that Varadero prides itself with its richness in magnificent beaches. Just a tip though. To maximize the ultimate beach experience, it is best that you visit these areas during the morning when the sun is barely as hot as it is during the noontime. However, if you just feel like relaxing in an environment where few people would crowd, the more calm beaches in the area include the Avenida de la Playa, Calle 17 and Calle 50.
