Vacation on Cartagena beaches - hidden bays, top resorts and recreation areas

Cartagena does not cease to attract beach lovers. Coastal areas suitable for water activities and sunbathing can be found both on the mainland and on the nearby picturesque islands, which can be easily reached by tourists. Within limits of the city is the largest and most popular beach - Playa de Bocagrande . This stretch of coast accommodates popular hotels, so some parts of the beach are well-equipped. The coast is perfect for a family holiday, the entrance to the water is gentle and quite shallow here. At the height of the tourist season, Bocagrande Beach is always crowded, so fans of private recreation would likely prefer other city beaches.

Tours of the picturesque Baru Island , which is part of the Rosario archipelago, are often organized for travelers. Recreation on the local beaches will surely appeal to nature enthusiasts, as the islands have managed to preserve their pristine beauty. The most popular and beautiful beach on the island of Baru is Playa Blanca covered with fine white sand. This charming beach lying near thickets of exotic plants is perfect for a secluded relaxation.

Another popular beach can be found on the island of Terrabomba . Playa De Punta Arena is not only popular for the picturesque landscapes but also for its high ecological standards. The quiet sandy beach is surrounded by thickets of slender palms, in the shade of which you can always hide from the hot sun. It also worth noting that in close proximity to the beach there are many popular restaurants serving delicious seafood dishes. Copyright www.orangesmile.com
