class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Corales del Rosario Islands, in the Bolivar region close to the coast of Cartagena de Indias, are part of the Corales del Rosario and San Bernardo National Natural Park. They form an archipelago of 28 islands and are unquestionably among the best in Colombia. Being in a protected natural park, the beaches of these islands are some of the best places to observe flora and fauna in Colombia. You can find a great diversity of aquatic species, coral reefs and other natural phenomena such as mangroves and lush vegetation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The famous<strong> Isla Grande <\/strong>is the easiest to get to from Cartagena, with kilometres of white sandy beaches and a wide variety of water activities. The unspoilt beach of <strong>Playa Bonita<\/strong> is a must-see on your tour of the best beaches in the Colombian Caribbean. From Isla Grande you can visit other equally beautiful islands such as<strong> Isla M\u00facura<\/strong> and<strong> Isla Pirata<\/strong>. Another place worth a visit is the curious <strong>Santa Cruz del Islote<\/strong>, the most densely populated island in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-attachment-id=\"17778\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/colombia\/colombia-beaches\/attachment\/aerialviewofplayablancaorwhitebeachonthe\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Isla-Grande-colombia.jpg?fit=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1024,768\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Shutterstock&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;aerial view of Playa Blanca or White Beach on the Caribbean island of Isla Baru, Cartagena, Colombia&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1546905600&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;Copyright (c) 2019 illpaxphotomatic\/Shutterstock.

It is the perfect beach for activities such as scuba diving or snorkelling due to its crystal clear waters and colourful corals, as well as hiking through the wild mangroves in the surrounding area. But if this isn&#8217;t enough to convince you, Playa Blanca is also the perfect place to simply relax in the sun or eat a seafood platter of the day&#8217;s catch at one of its restaurants. At dusk, we recommend watching the beautiful Caribbean sunset from<strong> Las Cuevas<\/strong>, a rocky area of the beach where you get the best views.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1632860109341\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><meta charset=\"utf-8\"\/><li><strong>H<\/strong>ow to get to<strong> Playa Blanca?<\/strong><\/li><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\"><meta charset=\"utf-8\"\/>One of the most common ways for tourists to get to Playa Blanca is by sea.

Here you can see everything from high cliffs to the dunes of the La Guajira desert, which go deep into the beaches. These are not the only contrasts in Cabo de la Vela, as it is a village where the inhabitants do not have basic goods such as drinking water and electricity and make a living by selling small handicrafts on the beaches. For this reason, you should plan to bring water with you on your visit to Cabo de la Vela.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the main activities to do on these beaches is kitesurfing, so if you like water sports, you shouldn&#8217;t miss the opportunity.

The island of San Andr\u00e9s is one of those destinations you have to see once in your life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The island of San Andres has all kinds of activities for its visitors, from excursions to the <strong>Jonnhy Cay Natural Park <\/strong>to <strong>snorkelling<\/strong> and <strong>diving<\/strong> sessions. On this island you can enjoy everything from busy natural pools such as <strong>La Piscinita<\/strong> to quiet beaches where the idea of &#8220;bustle&#8221; does not exist, such as <strong>Cocoplum Bay<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once in San Andr\u00e9s we recommend visiting the neighbouring <strong>Providencia<\/strong>. Unlike the crowded San Andr\u00e9s, Providencia is a more remote island and much less visited by tourists. For this reason, many who come here will return saying that they have been to one of the best beaches in Colombia. This almost untouched island has a lot to offer. Examples are <strong>Manzanillo<\/strong> beach and <strong>Cayo Cangrejo<\/strong>, a small islet nearby where you can observe marine life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-attachment-id=\"17711\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/colombia\/things-to-do-in-san-andres-island\/attachment\/landscapeofthebeachofsanandresandprovidenciaarchipelago\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/san-andres-in-colombia.jpg?fit=1024%2C683&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1024,683\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Shutterstock&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;Landscape of the beach of San Andres and Providencia Archipelago in Colombia with blue ocean and green palms and vegetation with boats and tourists&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1605484800&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;Copyright (c) 2020 Arturo Larrahondo\/Shutterstock.

It is one of the most beautiful and biodiverse natural parks in Colombia and the world. This beach on the Colombian Pacific coast is very quiet, unlike some of the beaches in the Caribbean. For this reason, many tourists looking to get away from the hustle and bustle consider La Barra to be one of the best beaches in Colombia where they can feel at peace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although we highly recommend La Barra, this isn&#8217;t the only beach in Bah\u00eda Uramba M\u00e1laga Natural Park that&#8217;s worth visiting. Other essential stops in Buenaventura are <strong>Juanchaco<\/strong> and <strong>Los Ladrilleros.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1632935883141\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">How to get to La Barra?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">First you need to get to the town of Buenventura, which can be reached by plane from Bogot\u00e1 or by land from Cali in 2.5 hours. Once there, take a boat to Juanchaco at 10 am, 1 or 4 pm, for \u20ac15 return. When you get to Juanchaco you can go by land to La Barra, by taxi, motorbike or even walking on a 40 minute route.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which-beaches-in-Colombia-are-actually-worth-visiting\"><\/span>Which beaches in Colombia are actually worth visiting?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Colombia has hundreds of beaches, but not all of them offer the same experience. Some are known for calm turquoise waters and white sand, especially along the Caribbean coast, while others on the Pacific side are wilder, more dramatic and less developed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The \u201cbest\u201d beach really depends on what you\u2019re looking for. For classic Caribbean vibes and easy access, islands near Cartagena are popular. For nature lovers and fewer crowds, Tayrona National Park offers a more rugged setting. Meanwhile, the Pacific coast is ideal for travelers seeking untouched landscapes and a more off-the-beaten-path experience. Choosing the right beach can completely shape your Colombia trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Map-of-the-best-beaches-in-Colombia\"><\/span>Map of the best beaches in Colombia<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border: 0;\" src=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/frame\/itineraries\/459db8d6-ad86-4cb3-af71-856060d89b18?ref=blogpassporter&amp;utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=mejores-playas-colombia&amp;utm_term=mapita&amp;action=modal&amp;target=register\n \" width=\"100%\" height=\"400\">\n<p><\/p><\/iframe><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How-to-prepare-your-trip-to-the-best-beaches-in-Colombia\"><\/span>How to prepare your trip to the best beaches in Colombia?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Get inspiration from the experiences of other travellers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Create your own itinerary and add the app\u2019s suggestions to it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Add the spots you are most interested in, as well as the restaurants and bars where you want to eat (you can use the points of interest listed in this post as a reference).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Organise your itinerary by days and according to their location (you can take inspiration from the routes presented in the post).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Check the travel budget that the app calculates for you based on your travel stops, restaurants, and leisure activities.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Make the necessary modifications and you are ready for your trip.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Finally, share your experience.
