Playa Pilar (Cayo Guillermo)

Often cited as the finest beach in Cuba, Playa Pilar sits at the tip of Cayo Guillermo in the Jardines del Rey and is known for tall white dunes, some of the highest in the Caribbean, and shallow, luminous turquoise water.

Named after Hemingway's boat, it has a wild, scenic character with the sandbank stretching far offshore.
