If you find yourself with a little spare time and you don’t mind traveling 50 miles, take a look at Santa Marta. This popular place offers plenty to keep you busy. Rodadero Beach, Blanca Beach and Taganga Beach alone justify the drive out here. Don’t miss Cartagena either! Just 55 miles away, Clock Tower, Bocagrande Beach and Marbella Beach are non-negotiable stops here.
