Playa Blanca, a paradise of crystal clear waters in Cartagena de Indias

Anyone who ventures to take a trip through the warm and crystal clear waters of the islands of Cartagena, is going to find dreamy places, such as the gorgeous “Playa Blanca” (White Beach), an acclaimed sector of “Barú”. Without a doubt it is one of the favorite places to have fun, but it is also an ecosystem that can be damage if certain standards are not met.

Swimming with snorkel, taking a ride on a jet ski, or going on board of the famous “gusanito” (a large floating device where at least four people get dragged by a speedboat), are some of the most popular activities on this beach, which must constantly restrict access in order to avoid that an excessive number of people unbalance the environment.
