The gay scene in Cuba’s capital city, Havana, thrives daily as the nation gains recognition as a gay-friendly travel destination. Havana was built for strolling, with many cultural attractions and one-of-a-kind activities. However, Havana’s gay nightlife remains a well-guarded secret since the gay scene has yet to enjoy the freedoms experienced by other LGBT communities, such as those in North America and Europe or even their South American counterparts.
When the term Havana is uttered, images of Spanish conquistadors, revolutionary heroes, and the literati and glitterati who once basked on these sun-kissed beaches reach to mind. Today, the intriguing history of Cuba’s capital city greets you at every turn, amid the cobblestone lanes of Old Havana, the stunning Cuban Baroque architecture, ancient forts, museums, iconic restaurants, and busy public squares.

“Which direction should we walk?”
My friend and I had arrived at Mi Cayito beach in Cuba, a stretch of shoreline 15 miles east of Havana, in search of gay Cuba travel experiences. It looked as though the beach extended quite a distance in both directions, so we were unsure where to verb the gay section of beach that supposedly existed. The Internet hadn&#;t been much help in that regard.
Just then, a college-age guy with a sassy demeanor sauntered past with a female friend. We were evidently on the right track. “Follow him!”

As of this writing, Cuba still has no official gay bars (just the occasional gay nigh
