Tourists, mostly Cubans, travel here attracted by its beautiful sandy beaches and resorts of Playa Jibacoa Beach, which offers beachside accommodation at a much more affordable price than in Varadero.
Inside the region is a much more agricultural and everyday environment, which highlights some scenic wonders such as its beautiful gardens, the area of Jaruco and Puente de Bacunayagua Bridge.
The best time to visit Mayabeque is from December to April, when you can enjoy excellent beaches. Apart from the beaches already mentioned, the province is also interesting for hosting a spectacular classical railroad: the Hershey train, crossing the warm and relaxed countryside of Matanzas.
