- Cocoplum Beach: One of San Andrés’ best beaches, known for its calm, shallow, and crystal-clear waters, making it ideal for a relaxing day with family. It stretches about 700 meters and is perhaps the most similar beach to what one expects on a Caribbean island due to its location away from the island’s center.
- Rocky Cay Beach: The calm, shallow, and transparent sea is ideal for wading in waist-deep water. It is close to the Decameron hotel, and you can find different bars around it. From here, you can see the famous shipwreck of San Andrés up close.
- Enjoy the marine world by practicing diving at the Aquarium, La Piscinita, Hoyo Soplador, Johnny Cay, and West View.
- Take a sunset stroll along the island’s boardwalk.
- Rent a golf cart and explore the island.
- For the adventurous and daring, you can practice snorkeling, kitesurfing, windsurfing, and jetskiing.
- Visit the Hoyo Soplador, named because the tide crashes through the coral tunnels and expels a jet of air and water 15 meters high.
- Enjoy a white night and a good Caribbean party on a catamaran.
- Enjoy water activities at West View, such as jumping from a 5-meter high trampoline or sliding down a slide into the sea. It also has a natural pool where you can swim and observe colorful fish.
In conclusion, if you visit San Andrés, you’ll have a wide range of activities to enjoy. From relaxing on the beach to venturing into water activities. Don’t wait any longer and come discover this Caribbean paradise!
