Cuba Summer Holidays
Posted: Mon May 12, 2008 09:40 PM UTC
We have our vacation booked for July 14 to 24 and are looking for a place to go in Cuba. I would like to know what the weather is like as I do not like very muggy weather. Is it nice to go to the beach during July? We would like a nice beach and want a relaxing time. Any suggestions would be most appreciated.

I don't know about the weather in July as we went in January and we had great perfect weather then. As the island is in a tropical zone, I'm assuming that the weather will be moderate and ideal throughout the year. Though, I'm not sure how hot & humid it gets in particular times of the year.

There are beaches all over Cuba. The most famous and touristy one is Varadero, which I'm sure you'll enjoy its white powdery beach if you do go there.

Goodluck & enjoy beautiful Cuba!

As mentioned above, Varadero is a great beach both for swimming, lazing around on, and walking. The water is shallow and clear. You can go quite a long way out before it is up to your shoulders ... no sudden drop-offs! You might want to avoid the canal area - I seem to remember it's rocky and smelly in that location.

I've only been in the winter months; can't comment on July.

Trying to predict the weather can be difficult because of local on the day variations.
This information should be used as a guide only.
Here is the average weather for Varadero for this time of year.
Enjoy your holiday.

July
High 86f / 30c
Low 70f / 21c

Go to the Playas del Este outside of Havana, several good beaches, great on weekends when the Cubans come out to play. Stay at the Tropicoco and you are only 15 minutes by cab from Old Havana or each morning there is a free bus which comes back at about 2:00 pm. If it is rainy you will get muggy anywhere!
