Some of the best beaches in Colombia are on the country’s Carribbean coast.
The absolute best beaches in Colombia are in Santa Marta.
Santa Marta is located on the Carribean coast of Colombia.
The beaches in Santa Marta have mostly domestic tourists, so there aren’t any touts or vendors there.
Cartagena has some nice beaches as well.
Cartagena has many foreign tourists (mainly Americans), which unfortunately means that there are a lot of touts and vendors on the beaches.
Better beaches are located in the Rosario Islands near Cartagena.
The water is clear and while the sand areas are small, they are usually protected from touts and vendors.
