Questions people actually ask about Playa Bonita.
Is Playa Bonita safe for swimming and water activities?
Playa Bonita generally offers excellent swimming conditions with its calm, turquoise waters and gentle waves typical of Cuba's protected northern cays. The white sand bottom slopes gradually, making it suitable for swimmers of varying abilities. However, facilities are limited on this offshore cay, meaning no lifeguards are typically present. Always swim with caution, check local conditions, and avoid swimming alone. The clear waters and relatively calm conditions make it popular for swimming, snorkeling, and wading.
When is the best time to visit Playa Bonita on Cayo Sabinal?
The best time to visit Playa Bonita is during Cuba's dry season from November through April, when you'll enjoy sunny skies, lower humidity, and calmer seas. This period also sees fewer crowds than summer months. Early morning visits offer the best light for photography and cooler temperatures. Hurricane season runs June through November, bringing potential storms and rougher seas. Weekdays are generally quieter than weekends. Winter months provide ideal conditions for enjoying the beach's famous turquoise waters.
