The GPS cut out when I got to the dirt road that the beach is on. I asked a guy that was on a motorbike and he led me the rest of the way. He had on a Playa Blanca shirt. Turned out he worked there and took us right to the spot that he works.
I did not see anyone counting people. Maybe that is something they will do for the boats, but not the people driving. The good thing was that the boats that usually run bringing tourists were not running. I guess there is no demand for it due to covid. You will be in paradise before 10 AM, but when those things start arriving polluting and crowding up the water it sucks.

Posts: 252Thanks guys! I did a little more research and it doesn't seem as expensive as I thought. I guess those prices of $200+ are for a private boat. I don't need that. I'm ok with a group ferry.
Mr. International, the car route isn't bad either. I checked prices and it's only $29/ day. Are the roads easy and straight forward driving without a lot of directions? My spanish is ok, but far from fluent.
It appears reservations are required for Playa Blanca, Baru. The beach reopened in December 2020 after being closed for an extended period. Max persons is 1000/ day. Here is the link - https://reservadeplayas.cartagena.gov.co. I plan on going on a Thursday so I shouldn't have too much of an issue. The problem is that I can only make a reservation for 1 person. I would like to option to bring a chica with me if I found someone that seemed cool and low maintenance enough to tag along.
The pictures of the beach proves it is exactly what I'm looking for. Punta Arenas, seems to be a step down and I actually want something a little less crowded.
AmorPorFavor, how much did you pay for the private driver for the day? If reasonable, that might be a viable option. Nice scenery in those pics! LOL.

Posts: 567Playa Tranquila
Here's some pictures I took in Jan 2020. This is about a mile or 2 down from Playa Blanca. We took a lancha there from Playa Blanca. Its nicer down there with much less people around and no hawkers about. I hired a taxi driver for the day to take us there and be my valet for whatever we needed. We had food and drinks, massages and rented a jet ski. I also had a lot of great meals in Cartagena for about 2/3 what I would pay here in a major US city.

Posts: 582I definitely went to the wrong one. But I think I know the one you're talking about. Yes these leeches attach themselves to you in Cuba they call them jinteros. Jockeys.

Even at 50 mil that's already a bargain for using all the facilities and clean bathrooms, IMHO.

Posts: 582Everything is on the phone PCR test boarding passes, immigration form filled out for tomorrow departure. I'll have everything backed up on paper just in case. I'm taking Spirit airlines everything looks pretty good I didn't select any seats but they put me in windows and the whole plane looks socially distant. I'll be around through next week probably won't do any reports till after.

Posts: 582Absolutely. Maricon away usually works, after being nice of course. The worst thing you can do is be rude right off the bat.

Posts: 582It's all the same--Playa Hollywood, Bocagrande. Some places have fancy chairs or you can pay a little extra and hang out with Tony and the chicas....lol. That's usually pretty entertaining... but he is a pain in the ass
Don't go to Playa Blanca on weekends it's a mob scene, at least it was pre-covid. Also there are numerous Playa Blancas. As far as getting to a really good beach I would definitely look into some of the excursions from the boat harbor which go to some amazing locations offshore. This is probably your best bet as far as getting to the kind of water that you're probably thinking of.

Posts: 252Best Beach
Between Playa De Bocagrande and Playa Hollywood, which one has the better looking water? I'm not concerned about mongering opportunities. I enjoy passing time relaxing in a beach chair. Hopefully, I get at least one day without overcast so I can catch some rays. I thought of taking a day trip to Playa Blanca, but I'm not sure if I want to invest the time / money it would take to get there.
Thanks.

I have been in the whole coast of Colombia (Caribbean) numerous times including Cartagena. I know all the aggressive punks and it can be relentless.
My rule, I give one "no gracias", if they continue I firmly say with eyes looking directly at them "no gracias, no thanks", if they continue I call them a molesting fucking maricon, get away from me you fagot queer, and if they happen to touch me, invade my space I take a swing at them, no shit this is the only thing that works.

Posts: 582Yes and Juan Valdez. Great spot for non pro-hoes.
And there's a Lebanese dessert place right near Juan Valdez couple blocks down towards Laguito beach side.... Also people should not miss the ceviche they have at the Sombrero place just off the old city...... Also the fruit madres that sell it on the beach...
