- Important Tips for Your Playa Blanca Visit Playa Blanca is the most beautiful, yet busiest, public beach among the islands. It features numerous local businesses offering services to visitors, each with its own rules and dynamics.
- Regarding Local Vendors and Services As a public beach, you will encounter many local vendors offering various services and products. While our staff prioritizes your comfort, please be aware that nothing is truly free. Any seemingly complimentary offer will eventually lead to a request for payment. If you do not wish to pay for a service, please politely decline the offer, even if you are told it is "free." Always ask for the price before agreeing to any service or purchase.
- Safety and Valuables We provide lockers for your belongings. If you and your companions enter the water, please do not leave your items unattended. Our provided lockers are the only truly secure place for your valuables. While our club premises are monitored by security cameras, it is always best to prevent the loss of your belongings by using the designated secure storage.
- Our Commitment to Your Experience Our beach club is a secured space, and we manage the local vendors who operate within our area to ensure they are as non-intrusive as possible. We guarantee you will have the best experience on this public beach; we always take excellent care of our clients. Please use your payment card only for transactions within our Beach Club. Avoid using your card outside of our controlled area. Remember: Always ask for prices first before purchasing or accepting any service.
Traveler reviews
YOU MUST IMPROVE A LOT
Little information The guide was unpunctual Ground transportation without seatbelts The menu was very poor Very dirty bathroom Dangerous proximity of boats
Playa Blanca in Barú, Cartagena.
They told us to be at the meeting point from 8:00 am and that they would pick us up between 8:15 and 8:30. I was there with my family at 8:00 and there was no one to give us information until the guide arrived at 8:40 (for a moment we thought they had left us) and we did not have any contact phone number to know what was happening during those 40 minutes. The beach is truly beautiful, but there are many boats near the shore and there are too many vendors offering you their products and services all the time; these are details of the beach itself that do not allow you to relax 100%. The place we arrived at was quite good and nice, good service, the food was tasty. The bus on the way there had good air conditioning, something we appreciated after having been standing in the sun at 32 degrees for 40 minutes, but on the way back, due to technical issues, they had to turn it off during almost the entire return trip.
Sweep the sea
Sweep the sea, many stones.
Great trip
I’ve been going to the same place for the last 3 years, but this tour is very good. Transporation is great and the the beach is amazing and it comes with food for such an amazing price can’t really beat it. This time we had Miguel as our tour guide and he was very informative and spoke excellent English!
Relax Beach Day
The morning of and transportation was a bit confusing as the website and the WhatsUp app said two different things as far as the meet location and or pick up from hotel. When we made the reservation it never asked to be picked up from hotel. We confirmed it morning of and canceled the uber as it was no longer needed. Bus picked us up on time and we were on our way with another group. Milton was our tour guide and he spoke English very well and answered all of our questions while on the bus. He was amazing and very nice guy. Once at the beach, it was amazing and so worth it to get a day bed. The food and drinks were yummy. The day was perfect. Thank you Milton for an amazing day and being there to answer our questions every step of the way.
