Las Tunas is one of the most untouched parts of Cuba. It’s home to stunning isolated stretches of beach and excellent dive spots along with a peaceful capital city and very friendly locals. This is the real Cuba, away from the tourist resorts.

Las Tunas Capital City

The capital city of Las Tunas was founded back in 1752. During the second war of independence it was actually burned to the ground. Nowadays Las Tunas is the provincial capital with a population of over 140,000 people. Las Tunas has a very social charm, the local Cubans here are incredibly friendly and always welcome to visitors. If you stay in one of Las Tuna’s casas particulares, you’ll feel like you’re right at home with the family - and you will be!

Sights in Las Tunas

Puerto Padre

Puerto Padre town is located in a bay on the northern coast of Las Tunas province. It’s known as the “city of mills” and dates back to the 16th century. It has grown from a small rural town into an industrial center, where they produce large amounts of sugar cane - hence the number of mills.

The city is a quiet spot and close to some of the best beaches in the province. Lodging means casas particulares in Puerto Padre. Chill in this beautiful, relaxed place and explore the most beautiful, lonely beaches in Cuba.

Playas en la provincia de Las Tunas

Las Tunas province is home to what many believe are the most beautiful beaches in all of Eastern Cuba. Think miles and miles of isolated stretches of sandy beaches, surrounded by pristine, clear warm waters. There’s literally no tourism here and the diving is amazing.

Covarrubias Beach

Covarrubias is located in the north of the province. It’s the best place to go diving in Las Tunas with warm clean waters and a beautiful coral reef that stretches for nearly three kilometers. There are 35 untouched virgin beaches in this area, all known for their stunning natural beauty but only one - Covarrubias - has been opened to international tourism.

Playa La Herradura beach

Playas La Herradura is a golden sandy beach with pristine waters and spectacular sunsets. There’s a number of establishments here that legally rent out private rooms.

Playa La Llanita beach

If you keep going west for about 10 kilometers you’ll come to Playa Llanita. The sand here is very soft and whiter than La Herradura. The water can get very choppy though.
