One of them is near the Torre\u00f3n de la Chorrera, in front of the Jos\u00e9 A. Echeverr\u00eda Recreation Center. Another is located at the aforementioned end of 23rd Street, in the vicinity of the Hotel Nacional. Finally, a popular place is right at the entrance to the Bay of Havana, on the esplanade of the Castillo de San Salvador de la Punta.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1366px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Banistas-fotos-Kaloian9-1366x908.jpg\" alt=\"Near the Torre\u00f3n de la Chorrera.

Photo: Kaloian.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For years, bathing on the boardwalk has been prohibited. Several signs indicate this. The ban, despite the song, is not due to the danger of encounters with sharks (although a blue one appeared in the area not long ago, apparently lost). What\u2019s more, at first glance, when the sea is calm, not even the reef seems dangerous.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Apparently the boys know well the dimensions of each rock, the depth of the pool and even the angle of entry into the water so as not to get hurt. There are a couple of intrepid ones, the older ones, who gain momentum from the other side of the avenue, jump to the wall and from there they take flight with open arms and in free fall they break the surface like an arrow.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1366px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Banistas-fotos-Kaloian3-1366x912.jpg\" alt=\"Bathers know the coastline well.

Every day, pollutants of various types, including hydrocarbons, sewage and industrial waste, are dumped into this sea area. Health authorities warn about the risk of contracting digestive, respiratory and dermatological diseases due to exposure to these contaminated waters.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1366px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Banistas-fotos-Kaloian8-1366x905.jpg\" alt=\"Pollutants of various types end up in the bay\u2019s waters.

Organic and inorganic materials, heavy metals, remains of construction materials, fats, oils, among others, end up in the sea.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1366px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Banistas-fotos-Kaloian6-1366x908.jpg\" alt=\"The majority of those who bathe on the boardwalk are residents of the area.

Even before the construction of the famous wall, the area near the San L\u00e1zaro tower, on San L\u00e1zaro Avenue, housed infrastructures known as \u201csea baths\u201d such as La Punta, Recreo and La Beneficencia. Remains of its foundations can still be seen. Back then, the waters were clear. Although today\u2019s are less so, bathers do not give up the adrenaline of flying from the edge of the city; an immediate landing flight but one that is enough to experience the very brief spectacle of crashing over the water.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1366px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Banistas-fotos-Kaloian14-1366x880.jpg\" alt=\"The adrenaline of flying.
