Discover the Best Beaches in Cartagena
Cartagena is a destination that has it all. In addition to an impressive colonial historical atmosphere, the 'Heroica' also offers you relaxation and fun thanks to its magnificent beaches bathed by the Caribbean Sea.
In these idyllic settings, you can lie back and enjoy a delicious cocktail and the beauty of the landscape, but you can also venture out to practice all kinds of water sports, such as diving, snorkeling, kayaking, windsurfing, surfing, and flyboarding.
To do this, you can head to the best beaches in Cartagena. One of them is Playa Blanca, which is located about 40 minutes from the city and, as its name suggests, is characterized by its white sand and crystal-clear waters. It is, without a doubt, an authentic Caribbean paradise beach.
Another option you will love is the Bocagrande peninsula, where the best neighborhoods and the most exclusive hotels in Cartagena are located. There you will find beaches like Castillogrande, which, despite the urban environment, offers calm and crystal-clear waters.
It's also worth visiting La Boquilla, one of the most famous beaches in Cartagena due to its proximity to the historic center of the city.
But if your goal is to visit beaches that are in more natural settings and further away from tourist areas, you can head to Islas del Rosario, a small and charming archipelago consisting of about 28 islands, which you must reach by boat. The trip takes just under an hour. You will find many companies in Cartagena offering this service with different tourist packages.
In Islas del Rosario, you will find many white sandy beaches and crystal-clear waters where you can also explore the wonderful marine life. Incredible fish and corals of all colors will reward those who dive into the warm waters of the Caribbean Sea.
You will also find exclusive hotels where you can stay to peacefully enjoy beautiful Caribbean sunrises and sunsets.
One of the best islands for this plan is Isla Pelícano, an exclusive destination accessible by private yacht. There you can stay in a beautiful house with two docks, a solarium, a jacuzzi, and three bedrooms.
Similarly, you can stay in hotels located on islands like Isla Grande, Isla del Sol, or El Encanto, which also offer the beauty and nature characteristic of the paradisiacal Colombian Caribbean.
And if you want to appreciate the wonderful aquatic life of the place, you can go to the Oceanarium of Islas del Rosario, where you will have the opportunity to dive, watch fun dolphin shows, and taste delicious dishes prepared with local ingredients.
As you can see, Cartagena, in addition to being a city with great history and culture, is also a top-notch Caribbean destination. Get to know it and enjoy the comfort and adventure offered by the beaches of the Heroica.
