Colombia is a country that has varied landscapes, cultural traits, and a huge variety of places to visit. If you are looking for beaches, you’re in luck, because Colombia has plenty to offer.
Take a look at Colombia’s top beach cities, three destinations that you should definitely have in mind when planning your next trip.
San Andres
Did you know that Colombia has an island in the Caribbean Sea? Well, they do, and San Andres is the name of this picturesque paradise. The island’s capital is a small city of 55,000 that features resorts, a bustling shopping district, and some of the most beautiful sunsets you’ll ever see.
Cartagena is one of Colombia’s biggest cities. Its location on the Atlantic coast of the country gives it plenty of beautiful beaches, but Cartagena is so much more. Its 16th century walled Old Town is a treasure trove of colonial architecture and cobblestone streets that date back to the Spanish rule of the area.
Another city located on the Caribbean Sea is Santa Marta, which is known as the gateway to Tayrona Natural Park. This biodiverse area is home to a treasure trove of bird and animal species as well as a cool party scene that is centered on the Rodadero Beach area.
