Waterfront Spot
Playa Gairaca
Santa Marta
"you feel like you're the only person in the world"
Head to the far side for calmer waters
Bring all supplies—no services at the shore
A secluded stretch of sand where the water's calm enough to actually swim, unlike many of Tayrona's beaches. Underwater life makes it prime for snorkeling, and trails wind to even quieter coves like Playa del Amor.
