The land now occupied by the HOTEL NACIONAL DE CUBA was part of an area known in the early centuries of the colonial area as Monte Vedado (vedado - prohibited) because of a Spanish government decree banning the creation of paths to the beach in that area; this is why one of the function rooms is named "Sala Vedado".

While it's nowhere near as long as Pinney's, Oualie beach offers equally good white sand and equally good bathing.

Oualie is also the base for a variety of water activity operations, including catamaran and sloop cruises, scuba diving, windsurfing and kayaking.
