Playa Blanca is a beautiful and tranquil beach nestled in the valley of mountains separating Santa Marta from El Rodadero. It is only accessible via a short boat journey, which means the area is particularly clean and safe. Enjoy the warm and crystal clear ocean water. Look for huts serving fresh seafood caught in the area and vendors offering coconut shell drinks. Arrive early in the morning to ensure you can reserve a sun tent and chairs. Relax on a hammock to the sound of the waves while staying cool in the shade of the swaying coconut trees. Boats arrive throughout the afternoon with more travellers. Most people leave the beach late in the afternoon, but you may choose to stay the night in a tent to enjoy it without the crowds. Try fresh fish from the small huts along the beach. The fees are usually negotiable because there are many restaurants competing for your service. Bargain for low prices from vendors selling succulent fruit, drinks and sunglasses. Capture photos of the rocky cliffs surrounding the beach. You can see interesting cacti and mountains extending for miles. Enjoy a swim in the warm, clear water. Rent snorkeling gear to take a closer look at the colourful Caribbean fish. Purchase a beach massage from one of the vendors. To get to Playa Blanca, take a 15-minute boat trip from either El Rodadero to the south or Santa Marta’s Historic Centre to the north. The beach is nestled in the mountains separating the two areas. Prices vary depending on the boat company you use. Prepare to negotiate prices, particularly for larger groups. Make sure to confirm the time and location of your return trip. Once you arrive at the white sands of Playa Blanca, simply enjoy the relaxation that you sought for your Colombian holiday. ## Plan a trip to see Blanca Beach Price found within the past 48 hours.

(633 reviews) We went to the port on a Tuesday afternoon and it was easy to find the staff. They also communicate by WhatsApp. The boat rides went fine. The staff at the resort were very friendly and helpful. If you want a second cup of coffee during the breakfast, you'll have to flag the staff down. The hotel room was good and we liked the bed. Lots of beach loungers with shade available during the midweek. Food was good, but a bit pricey. Beach was nice, the water could be rough if boats pass by. The water isn't as clear as the other islands but this one is much closer to the city. The resort dogs and cats were friendly. There are day pass visitors but we didn't feel like impacted the service level from the staff. We didn't like that the jet ski staff would ride into the designated swim spot. Seems like an accident could happen and it also makes the water quality worse. One thing to note about the property is that they asked for reviews from us several times.
