Pesquero Beach lies in the vicinities of the National Park Bahía de Naranjo, a nature reserve in northeastern Cuba, and is one of the sandiest beaches in the region, shielded in the north by coral reefs, and by mountains to the south.

There are excellent hotels in Playa Pesquero, a highlight being the one that took its name from the beach and qualifies as the largest resort ever developed in Cuba.
