Playa Rancho Luna
A Caribbean beach about 18 km south of the city, with clear water and fine sand. Nearby reefs are good for snorkeling and diving.
Rancho Luna is the beach closest to Cienfuegos. Its stretch of sand is short, but the water is clear and calm, making it good for swimming. Resort hotels and private guesthouses are nearby. Offshore coral reefs are served by dive centers offering snorkeling and scuba trips, and on the west side of the bay there is a small ferry pier to Castillo de Jagua. A taxi from downtown takes about 25 minutes. You can also rent a bicycle or take a bus that passes occasionally. Beach facilities are basic and food options are limited, so bring your own drinking water.
