Why Go
The beach curves for more than a kilometer below a promenade lined with white wrought-iron railings, the emblem of the city, and Belle Époque hotels. Santa Clara Island sits in the mouth of the bay, and the sheltered water is calm enough for swimming most of the year, if you don't mind the cold.
