Varadero, covering Cuba’s narrow Hicacos Peninsula, is a popular beach resort town. Along its 20km of Atlantic Ocean coastline is a string of all-inclusive hotel and spa complexes and a golf course. Near the peninsula’s eastern tip is Reserva Ecológica Varahicacos, a preserve with trails and an ancient burial cave. Parque Josone is a park with a pond and gardens.
At the peninsula's midpoint is Varadero Golf Club, with an 18-hole course and a hotel inhabiting a 1930 villa, Mansión Xanadú. The tiny nearby islands of Cayo Piedras del Norte and Cayo Romero are popular diving and snorkeling destinations. Outside Varadero on the mainland is provincial capital, Matanzas, featuring ornate colonial architecture. The nearby Cuevas de Bellamar are a vast cave complex. The Río Canímar offers river cruises past mangrove thickets and other tropical vegetation. San Miguel de los Baños is a mostly-abandoned spa town from the early 20th century.
