Cuba, one of the fastest-growing tourist destinations in the Caribbean region, offers a wide range of attractions that provide a unique offer to thousands of visitors who bet on the Island to spend their vacations. Cuba's exuberant nature, centuries-old traditions and history go hand in hand throughout the island's 110,000 square kilometers and nearly 5,800 kilometers of coasts, including 600 kilometers of excellent Cuban beaches.

The Cuban beaches, combined with the island's tropical climate, fine sand and crystal-clear warm waters, form part of an offer that vacationers cannot refuse.

Although the average temperature in the island is 24.6 degrees Celsius (76.2 degrees Fahrenheit), the excellent Cuban beaches are a unique attraction for visitors.
