Playa Blanca, Caribbean beach on Isla Baru, Colombia.
White sand stretches for three kilometers along turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea, where golden sunlight reflects on crystal-clear waters.
The construction of a bridge connecting Isla Baru to Cartagena in 2014 transformed this once-remote beach into an accessible destination for international visitors.
Local vendors offer traditional Colombian seafood dishes, including fresh fish, coconut rice, and plantains, prepared according to Caribbean coastal recipes.
Visitors can reach the beach by taking a 45-minute speedboat ride from Cartagena or driving across the bridge to Isla Baru.
The beach remains active after sunset, when natural bioluminescent plankton creates a luminous display in the dark waters.
