General characteristics of Red Beach.
The Red Beach belongs to the Isla de la Juventud, and is located about 45 km from Nueva Gerona, the main city of that Special Municipality.

The length of the beach is approximately 2 km, and it has warm, shallow and transparent waters accompanied by light sand.
The Red beach, although somewhat affected by the poor channeling of waste from the nearby hotel and other issues that threaten the environment, offers visitors a beautiful natural view at any time of day.
Although it is visited by some guests of the Colony hotel, its bathers are generally the inhabitants of the nearby towns of San Pedro, Argelia and La Victoria.
