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 (18,500 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 or use the booking form below.
The info:
The boat departs from the dock at 9am. You will return to Cartagena dock at 4pm. (You would have to make your own way to the dock)
Price is 195,000 pesos pp + marine tax (exact cash in pesos would be appreciated and is payable directly to Bendita Beach)
Price includes boat transfer, Caribbean lunch (fish, rice patacón standard, upgrade to lobster also available)
Bring towel, sunscreen, insect repellant (if you are prone), camera for taking jealousy-inducing selfies.
