Varadero Sports

Varadero - Golf club

Most hotels include water sports like windsurfing, snorkelling, kayaking and paddle boat as part of the all-inclusive package or for hire. If not, simply hit the beach and walk a bit until you find some for rent.
There are three main marinas on Varadero: Marina Gaviota Varadero, at the far eastern end of the Autopista del Sur, Marina Dársena Varadero, at the western end of the Autopista del Sur and Cubanacán's Marina Chapelín, Autopista del Sur Km 12.5. At any of these you can charter a sailboat, organize a fishing excursion, or arrange to go scuba diving. Moreover, the tour agencies and hotel activities desks can book any of these activities.

Fishing
The waters off of Varadero offer the opportunity to go deep-sea fishing for marlin, sailfish, tuna, snapper, dolphin, and more. Fishing trips can also be arranged to the Ciénaga de Zapata area in southern Matanzas province.

Sailing 
There are many charter sailboat options available at each of the marinas mentioned above. A range of cruise options is available, from half-day and full-day cruises to simple sunset sails. Many of the sailing adventures make stops at the small, uninhabited cays off the eastern coast of the peninsula; these trips can include lunch on one of the cays, as well as snorkel adventures on close-in coral reefs.

Scuba Diving
Most of the large hotels on Varadero either have their own dive operation or can arrange scuba and snorkel trips around the area. Scuba diving and snorkeling off of Varadero is generally pretty good, although rarely spectacular. There's an assortment of sites, including a black coral bed, various coral reefs, and an old wreck. True aficionados prefer the diving found in southern Matanzas province off the coasts of Playa Larga and Playa Girón. It's about a 90-minute drive from Varadero, and all of the dive operations here offer trips to these dive spots, an especially good choice if a norther is blowing and the waters are rough off of Varadero.

Varadero Golf Club
Located in a narrow strip from Sol Sirenas-Coral hotel to Sol Palmeras, this attractive 18-hole, par-72, 6896-yard golf course designed by Les Furber from Alberta has a unique design with four kilometres of cart path and surrounded by fourteen acres of natural salt water lakes.
