Río Miel & Playa Blanca
Río Miel / Playa Blanca
A quiet little beach reached after crossing the Río Miel about 2 km east of town, said to bring anyone who drinks its water back to Baracoa.
The Río Miel flows into the sea about 2 km east of the city. A bridge crosses it, and a coastal footpath leads from there to Playa Blanca, a small sandy beach surrounded by rocks. It is peaceful, with few people, and perfect for swimming and picnicking. Local legend says that travelers who drink from the Río Miel will always return to Baracoa. You can walk from town or take a bicycle taxi to the river mouth. There are no facilities on the beach, so bring your own water.
