Guide
Good to know
Come for views and solitude, not swimming
Visitors praise the clear water, lighthouse views, and peaceful atmosphere with few crowds.
Expect rocky ground, not sand
The bay has stones and rocks underfoot rather than a sandy beach, so wear sturdy water shoes.
Plan for litter and neglect
The site is littered with plastic, glass, and trash, and receives minimal maintenance or upkeep.
Account for a long walk from town
The site sits 30 to 50 minutes on foot from central Cartagena, passing industrial zones and construction areas.
