Calm and pretty beach near historic Trinidad

Playa Ancon can be described as a sort of resort town. The main attraction is of course the beach. Playa Ancon is located a good 25 mins by transport from Trinidad, making it an excellent day trip if you want some sun and beach! You can also choose to sleep there as there are several beachfront hotel properties. You'll find restaurants along the beach, as well, offering western options. You can get to the beach by taxi collectivo, taxi or bus. It isn't too expensive even if you take a taxi; just make sure you agree upon the price beforehand. The beach itself is quite clean and the water is very blue. When I was there it wasn't overly crowded so it made for a calm excursion. As such, there was plenty of space on the beach for everyone to not only suntan by to get in the water as well without being in a sea of people. Other facilities seemed to be scarce as it was geared towards hotel stayers. Overall, head to Playa Ancon if you want a short and close day trip to the beach from Trinidad. Transportation is convenient and not too expensive and you'll find a clean and calm beach for your enjoyment! #beach #daytrip #explore #travel #cuba
