Santa Lucia Beach, Cuba – One Of The King's Jewels
Santa Lucia Beach, 110 Km from Camagüey city, is the main touristic spot in this province. It's part of the Sabana-Camagüey Archipelago, also known as the King's Gardens (Jardines del Rey), the biggest of all surrounding the island. It hosts amazing beauty and represents one of the main touristic beaches in the country. The sea floor throughout this area is protected by the second most extensive coral reef in the world, only surpassed by the Australian Great Barrier Reef. The protection offered by the reef has helped to maintain the massive number of beautiful beaches stretching from Baracoa to Matanzas and creates the perfect conditions for a relaxing dip or swim in the calm, refreshing waters.
Santa Lucía includes 35 sites for scuba diving and nautical sports including shipwrecks from the 19th century. At 22 km of fine, cream-colored sands and crystalline waters, Playa Santa Lucia is ideal for sunbathing, but other options are also available to diversify your vacation, including touristic excursions to the historic center of the ancient Santa María del Puerto del Príncipe village, recently declared a World Heritage Site.
Today, the Beach has four hotel complexes and more than 1000 rooms including the Gran Club Santa Lucía Hotel and the Brisas Santa Lucía Cuatro Vientos Hotel. Nearby, Cayo Sabinal awaits, the fourth largest island in the country, with an extension of 335 square kilometers, joined to the mainland by an earthen path stretching from Nuevitas. Cayo Romano, Cayo Cruz and Cayo Guajaba (a biological reserve, an area of unspoiled beaches), also lie nearby. In El Real, south of the sand dunes, you can find the main pink flamingo community of the Caribbean.
It's been said that Ernest Hemingway used to go around this area onboard his yacht "El Pilar", either hunting or fishing, or searching for German submarines during World War II. His journeys inspired him to write the so famous autobiographic Islas del Golfo (Islands of the Gulf) novel. It's with good reason that Hemingway passed so much time in the region surrounding Santa Lucía, located halfway from the Canal Viejo de Bahamas, in the middle of a semi-isolated, natural paradise with shallow waters and a seemingly endless 15 meter stretch of sun-baked sandy beaches.
