Playa Blanca Isla Barú - Cartagena Colombia

Isla Barù is a small island floating in the Caribbean and it´s Colombia´s island paradise. If you want some action head to Playa Blanca on the island. Here you find palm trees, bright blue Caribbean Sea, sandy beaches, fresh seafood, juices, music and drinks.

Playa Blanca is located one hour away from Cartagena by speedboat or by taxi. I do recommend the speedboat because the temperature is hot in Cartagena the whole year and the sea breeze feels so good.

You can visit Playa Blanca for a day to swim and soak up some sun on the beach, that´s what I did several days in a row or you can spend the night in one of the charming rustic huts on the beach.

Since I travel with a suitcase and want the hotels I stay in to be of a certain standard especially with I travel solo, I did´t spend the night on the beach in Playa Blanca. If I return I would like to spend the night but I would choose to stay a little further away Playa Blanca in a more quite and calm place on Isla Barù.
