Characteristics of the Bibijagua Beach
The famous and beautiful beach called Bibijagua, in the Isla de la Juventud (Island of the Youth), differs from the others in the small island and in Cuba, because of the color black in completely a natural form in part of its sands, created by the erosive action of the waves on the marble rocks. It is a place with a calm, healthy, oxygenated and familiar environment for those who prefer direct contact with nature.
It is really that way, the tone of its sands owes it to the presence of grains of heavy minerals, components that makes Bibijagua a beach of great singularity in the world, whose beauty and transparency of its waters make it even more enchanting.
It is the beach most frequented by the inhabitants of Isla de la Juventud (with a population of approximately 100,000 inhabitants), because of its proximity to the city of Nueva Gerona and the Chacon Neighborhood.
In the famous beach, artists of the plastic of different parts of the country erected, in great format and with the technique of direct carving in marble, ten figures.
A mild climate prevails throughout the region. The north is generally plain and dry. There are also some marble hills near Bibijagua, although most are in Nueva Gerona.
The most massive way of traveling to the island is through motorized catamarans, which sail between two and three hours, while a cargo ship requires about six hours for the crossing.
Bibijagua Beach and its Surroundings
But the options of sand, sun and sea are not limited to Bibijagua, also along the same road there are Punta Piedra, Paraiso, El Pescador and El Gallego beaches. From Paraiso (typically Cuban), with a small restaurant very frequented by the population, especially the weekend, you can walk a long stretch in the sea, as there is not much depth. Also from this splendid place you can swim to the cayo de los monos (Cay of the Monkeys), located one kilometer from the beach.
