TravelTalkOnline Forums Travel and Vacation Forums Nude Resorts, Beaches and Cruises Beaches in Cuba

Hi everyone. I've heard there are several beaches in Cuba, south of the main island, where one can easily be nude much of the day on the beaches
Can anyone share their experience at any of these beaches. All info would be appreciated as to where to stay, good deals, where not to go, etc. thanks

I believe the island you are referring to is Cayo Largo. We went there a few years back (6 or 7) and stayed at what was the Sol Pelicano. The other hotel with a nude section was Sol Cayo Largo. Nudity was only permitted on a marked off section of the beach at each hotel. We did visit friends at Sol Cayo Largo which seemed a little more upscale than Sol Pelicano. It’s Cuba, don’t expect high end food, but the food is OK. There is usually a shortage of something, like lettuce or tomatoes. You can do some excursions off the resort either by bus or a small train. There is the marina and a small town, with a bar, a souvenir shop and a bowling alley. There is also a small aquarium where they raise sea turtles. The town is where the hotel workers stay…they are usually on 30 day rotation…when the ferry is running! No one lives on the island full time. Crime is pretty much non existent.
Except for a Cuban band that wanders around the resort in the evening the entertainment is largely like an elementary school talent show (at least when we were there).
Hope this helps.

From a Canadian friend who has been there a few times:
The answer is not related to beaches South of Cuba but an Island South of Cuba.
The Island is called Cayo Largo. You can fly directly to this island from charters departing Montreal or Toronto. The island has little to offer except for beaches...no village to visit, no shopping, no golf etc. There are about 4-5 resorts: the Sol Cayo Largo, the Pelicano Cayo Largo being the most popular. The Pelicano harbours many folks who do not know about the nudity until they walk the beach with grandma and the kids.
The beaches in front of the resorts are mostly for textile bathing but off to the side, nudity is the preferred mode of undress. In fact, you can easily walk 6-7 kilometres in the nude...right up to Paraiso beach.
The resorts are 3 stars at best with 2 star food.
