GIRON BEACH MATANZAS CUBA 🇨🇺
Playa Girón Beach is barely distinguishable from other tiny beaches in Cuba, it has the same coral sand, and turquoise waters which cover the wonderful reefs. But what it makes this one special is its having borne witness throughout the years to how the Cuban people has been prey to different attacks which it fought back until defeated.
The first attack took place at the beginning of the 17th century by a group of pirates, commanded by Drake and his partner. The final result was the beheading of the latter by the residents as a reprisal for trying to assault the beach. From this fact, the Cubans decide to keep alive the memory by christening the beach with the name of the pirate, Girón.

Of greater consequence was the attack which took place on the 17th April 1961 and perpetrated by American troops supported by the CIA, and which the Cubans drove back after three days of fighting, having decided to defend their island.

This event became part of the annals of history of the Cuban Revolution, which gained admiration from many people in other places in the country due to the considerable difference regarding the number of fighters and quality of arms. The boastful messages hung around the beach’s vicinity reveal the great pride the people feel for that past still celebrated in the present.

Playa Giron is located on the east coast of the Bay of Pigs, about 40 km southeast of Boca de Guama and only about 30 km from Playa Large, also a unique diving and snorkeling paradise. Guama is the largest subterranean cave and lake system in Latin America. From Girona, Playa Giron is about 145 km southwest on the Caribbean side of Cuba. You should also visit the bay Caleta Buena, only 6 km southeast of Playa Giron. For only 15 CUC you can buy here a 1 day all inclusive package and enjoy the beautiful bay with Mojito and Daiquiri.

Playa Giron, named after the French pirate Gilberto Giron, is made up of only a few streets, the main street has a few restaurants and most houses around the area are casa particulars. It has a population around 2000.

The beach is sheltered by a large wall that stretches from one side to the other. You can even walk across it.

Hotel Playa Giron is a resort hotel that is mainly connected with the beach. There is also a little beach shack that does great toasted sandwiches for just a few CUC.

The beach itself is nice, not really one of those white sand beaches you see when you google Cuban beaches however it was fine for a swim in the calm waters. Hotel Playa Giron looks like it has seen better days, it’s showing its age.
