Baracoa Coast Surf Guide

In the far east of Cuba, nestled in a north coast bay, you will find the town of Baracoa. Just "La Farola," the road leading in to town, will impress you as the cliffhanger takes your breath away. This is a land of rivers, where no less than six major waterways empty into the blue Atlantic. The possibilities in this region are very real, as it is the portion of coast most open to the North Atlantic.
