The Beaches

The gorgeous beaches of Guillermo cover almost the entire length of the northern coastline. They are made of powdery white sand bathed by crystal-clear turquoise waters and the sea is calm, making this beach-resort a perfect place to enjoy safe swimming, water sports, and long walks on the beach.

As you can see from the maps above, the northern coastline is divided into several stretches of sandy beaches separated by points or sections of rocky shoreline. Put together they represent kilometers of spectacular beaches. Playa Pilar is one of the most beautiful beaches in Cuba. It used to be a deserted beach, but now there are two hotels connected to Play Pilar.

Offshore coral reef platforms protect the beaches from high surf. Every beach has a gentle sloping sandy entrance to the water with many shallow areas created by the sand dunes. These calm waters are great for families with young children, and also to enjoy all-kinds of water sports. Cayo Guillermo also offers the best kitesurfing (Kiteboarding) conditions in Cuba.

All hotels in Cayo Guillermo are directly on the beach, except for the Villa Gregorio which is located 200 meters from Playa El Paso. Every all-inclusive resort has lounge chairs and palapas (shade structures with a thatched roof made out of palm fronds) on their segment of beach.
