Playa Caletón is where the heart of Playa Larga truly beats. This sandy beach isn't just a place to lay your towel; it's a dynamic hub of activity. The air is often filled with the aroma of fresh seafood grilling, mingling with the sounds of Cuban salsa from a nearby bar. Fishing skiffs, painted in bright blues and reds, line the shore, testament to the area's deep connection with the sea.
