One of the most beautiful destinations to visit is Playa Blanca Cartagena. Get to know more about this paradise in this article.
Playa Blanca Cartagena
Playa Blanca is at 45 minutes from Cartagena de Indias. It offers postcards of dreams, with its crystal clear, blue and green waters. This place is so magical and unforgettable. It is internationally compared to paradisiacal sites such as Ko Samui in Thailand; Negril in Jamaica or Boulders in South Africa. Its fame is well deserved because its beauty is extraordinary.
It is almost impossible to get to this island from entrance to exit, because no one can resist the charms of this magical place 15 minutes away from the Rosario Islands. Every day it receives boats and catamarans loaded with tourists departing from La Bodeguita de Cartagena de Indias Pier. It can also be reached by land, by private vehicle or by bus.
In this obligatory destination of the island of Baru, time seems to stop, it is so calm that there is enough time to do everything: sunbathe, swim, walk with pleasure on that perfect white sand, buy fruits, necklaces, bracelets, kayak, read a book…. And of course, taste the typical lunch that includes the traditional fried fish, with coconut rice, patacón and salad, a special tray -as the natives call this dish- that is enjoyed for a minimal cost depending on the fish you choose. And for dessert, cocadas, caballitos, alegrías and other native sweets.
In addition, visitors can enjoy exquisite shrimp, octopus and snail cocktails, or mixed drinks, for 5 and 10 thousand pesos. Other options to savor are the delicious fruit salads, washed down with condensed milk. At night the best offer is the imposing landscape that can be seen from the shore of the beach by candlelight and the music that closes the day to the rhythm of reggae, champeta and salsa.

Location
It is located on the island of Baru, 45 minutes from Cartagena de Indias. Although all transportation from the pier includes the return trip, in Playa Blanca there is a wide range of low-cost cabins to spend the night. They are wooden cabins with palm roofs, sand floors and no electricity. They also offer hammocks for 10,000 pesos and space for tents.
Caves
In addition to the natural spectacle offered by the sea and the rustic constructions that adorn the shore, the caves are another great attraction of Playa Blanca. The atmosphere inside these caves is perfectly humid, but cozy. Through the cracks at the top, a couple of rays of sunlight escape and illuminate them timidly. These caves are a total ecosystem of diverse species. Also terrestrial and amphibious that survive thanks to this environment.
Camping?
A great plan in this beach is camping! This is a whole experience for those who like adventure or excursion plans. Normally people choose to camp in front of the police station for safety.
