Costeño beach, Beach resort north of Santa Marta, Colombia.
Description
Costeño beach is a wide sandy shore along the Caribbean coast positioned between Tayrona National Park and Palomino, with strong waves throughout the year. The area remains undeveloped with minimal structures and mostly natural coastal landscape.
History
The beach remained undeveloped until the early 2000s, when small hostels and hotels began arriving in the area. This gradual opening transformed the isolated coastline into a destination for travelers.
Culture
Fishermen work along this shore using practices passed down through generations of local families. Surfers gather here to train in the constant waves and meet others who share the same passion.
Practical
Bring enough cash since ATM machines in Santa Marta are located approximately one hour away by road. Check ahead about what facilities and services are available at your accommodation.
