Punta Arena is a local beach on Tierra Bomba island, just 10 minutes by boat from El Laguito beach in Cartagena. It is our nearest, most affordable beach day, with flexible departures from 9 a.m. and no long journey to Barú or the Rosario Islands. Round-trip boat transport, a traditional lunch, chairs and tables are included. The visit ends around 3 p.m.; you return to the city by 4 p.m. Punta Arena and Playa Linda are different beaches: Playa Linda is about 20 minutes away, faces the open sea and includes a shaded cabana and sun lounger. Expect a local beach at Punta Arena; its water and sand differ from the postcard scenery of the Rosario Islands.

“Todo como lo describe el anuncio. Procuren ubicarse en las carpas de la parte final; la comida es buena y por el precio vale la pena. El agua no es tan azul como en las fotos, pero aun así es una playa bonita.”

“Excelente por el precio. El traslado en lancha fue seguro y tranquilo. La zona donde te dejan es muy turística, pero caminando 10 o 15 minutos por la playa llegamos a un área muy calmada y nadamos sin caos. El conductor bajaba la velocidad con el oleaje y se aseguró de que todos lleváramos chaleco salvavidas. Un día encantador.”
