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 175,000 pesos plus marine tax (17,000 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, numbers of guests, and your accommodation address including room number (please be as detailed as possible so there is no issue finding you). Or use the booking form below.
The info:
On the morning of your booking you will be collected from your accommodation from 8.10am. The boat departs from the dock at 9am. You will return to Cartagena dock at 4pm.

Bring towel, sunscreen, insect repellant (if you are prone), camera for taking jealousy-inducing selfies.
