BENDITA BEACH

This tiny island tip of white, white sand jutting into the clearest water use to be known only as Isla Arena (sand island) and we would include it as a stop whenever people hired private boats for the day. However in the past year it has started to be marketed as Bendita Beach and you can now buy day passes that go directly here for 195,000 pesos plus marine tax (19,000 at time of writing). It is very beautiful and very rustic. There really isn't very much apart from beach and water and some tree-covered tables where lunch is served, so plan just to eat, sleep and swim and chill the heck out. Snorkeling in the nearby area is also available. Book it by emailing info@cartagenaconnections.com with the date, number of guests, full names of guests, passport numbers of guests or use the booking form below.
