Two women walking along the beach at Playa Blanca

Playa Blanca (White Beach), Colombia

Playa Blanca is located on the island of Barú, which was formerly a peninsula before the construction of a man-made channel separated it from the mainland. Visitors arrive by boat from Cartagena or by road. Some say that Playa Blanca is Colombia’s most beautiful beach. However, the Colombian government has damaged the natural beauty of the area by allowing hostels and restaurants to build right on the beach leaving little space between the palm shacks and the waters edge.
