You feel like ROBINSON CRUSOE. You feel like in Paradise. You act like in Paradise.

DANGER!! EXTORTION SCAMS HERE. Be very careful. Do not trust anyone offering to take you to tierra bombas, especially you are a foreigner. They will take you there then won't let you leave until you pay up. What a horrible experience. I ended up paying for me and my gf's safety. I felt unsafe.

The beach and the water are very dirty, full of all kind of trash. There is also the smell of burnt petroleum from the nearby oil refinery. As a tourist you are constantly attacked by "vendors" trying to sell you water, sunglasses, water scooter ride, etc. (if on this beach it's better than hard to imagine how it looks on others). The only plus of this place is that it is less crowded. Still, not worth the visit.

One of the quietest I visited in Cartagena.

Bocagrande is a very modern part of Cartagena. There are food places and shops everywhere. It's very easy to get around and there are walking/running paths along the water. It's very relaxing. This location is also a port for boats transporting tourists and locals to Isla de Tierra Bomba. It's very easy to find.

Very crowded, dirty and windy. No need to spend your free time there. Vendors never let you relax.

Sand is smooth, and tents are not expensive (around US$10). Many salesmen wander around, and they can provide various services. Beware the boats though, as they roam fast and pose a potential danger to children.

Particularly quiet beach. Sure, there are some salespeople but they are not pushy. We liked it

Excellent location to enjoy the ocean whit a good price to rent the tent and chairs. I recommended to use the RED chairs, is the best price.

Dirty Beach with Mafia tactics running everything! ☹️😖👎🏻 it’s been a couple days and the pressure has diminished. Let’s see more.

Worst beach I have ever been too before muddy dirty and people are annoying beyond belief.

Visited in April and it was beautiful. Weather is perfect and shelter for purchase. Good area. Recommend!

The beach is very quiet. I liked it

Is a really good place even though is a little dirty. you can see the fish swimming near to you and have magic sunsets

I love this beach! It's my favorite in Cartagena. It doesn't have the typical beauty of a Caribbean beach, but it is very peaceful, the sea is calm and the water is warm. It's worth visiting! As with any place frequented by tourists in Cartagena, there are always lots of vendors. Ask and agree on the price of anything beforehand and don't accept anything "free".

Nice beach but STAY AWAY from the jet ski rentals because they WILL scam you with faulty jet skis then blame it on you and demand reimbursement

Much quieter and less visited beach, making it much more pleasant. More space under the tarpaulins than under an umbrella and the water and beach are clean. Salespeople come, but are not pushy and accept it if you are not interested.

Shallow access to the sea, nice sand, but pushy, annoying salespeople everywhere. No public loungers, just old plastic chairs under tarpaulins at quite high prices

Not the best sand, but the view, the water and the weather is perfect.

It is good, but can do with a good clean. Seems to be filled with locals more than anything, whilst Bocagrande has tourists, too. Man can see Isla del Tierra Bomba. Needs a good clean though.
