Playa Santa Lucia, Caribbean beach in Camagüey Province, Cuba

Playa Santa Lucia is a Caribbean beach in Camagüey Province with white sand and clear waters along the coastline. An offshore coral reef supports diverse marine life and creates conditions for water activities.

Playa Santa Lucía remained a small fishing spot until the 1990s, when it was developed into a tourist centre with its own airport serving the northern coast of Camagüey Province. The white sand beach runs about 21 km along the shore.

Fishermen from the nearby village use traditional methods to catch fish that feeds local restaurants daily. These practices shape how the community connects with the sea and sustains itself.

Playa Santa Lucía stretches 21 km along Cuba's northern coast in Camagüey Province, with its own airport built as the resort grew from the 1990s. The sand is fine and white, and the offshore reef lies close to shore. The town of Santa Lucía of the same name is in Holguín Province, not here.

The 21-kilometre white-sand beach lies in Camagüey Province, about 600 km east of Havana, beside Laguna el Real. West of it, the cays Sabinal, Guajaba, Romano, Cruz and Coco form the Jardines del Rey chain. Note that the town of Santa Lucía of the same name is in Holguín Province, not here.
