When to go to Varadero?
Twenty-two kilometres of pale sand run along this peninsula, fringed with coconut palms and cooled by the trade winds. Parque Josone offers shade and tropical gardens when the sun gets serious, and the Cueva de Saturno swaps the sea for a cool, clear underground pool. Havana is close enough for a day of city noise before you come back to the quiet.
