Playa Baracoa

This coastal community combines a dark sand shoreline with mountain views and extends along the waters of the Bay of Honey at 3 meters elevation.

The region gained prominence in the 18th century when it developed into a center for maritime trade, connecting the province with broader Caribbean commerce routes.

The local population maintains traditional fishing practices while cultivating banana, coconut, and cacao plantations that shape the regional agricultural identity.

Visitors can access multiple beaches, explore the surrounding mountains, or participate in guided tours through the neighboring natural areas throughout the year.

The settlement features natural freshwater rivers flowing into the Caribbean Sea, creating distinct ecological zones where salt and fresh water meet.
