The sunsets at Bocagrande are simply stunning. I suggest staying until about 6 PM to catch the beautiful colors over the water. Grab a spot on the sand and enjoy the view – it's well worth it!

Don't spend all your money on fancy beach clubs. I found that the local kiosks sell delicious food and drinks at half the price. My advice is to try the fresh ceviche – it's amazing!

I recommend visiting Bocagrande Beach early in the morning, around 8 AM. The sun is not too hot, and you can snag a great spot without the crowds. Trust me, it's much better than being there at noon!

Watch out for beach vendors! They can be a bit insistent. I think it's best to politely say 'no gracias' and keep walking if you're not interested. It’ll save you some time for enjoying the sand.

I recommend hitting the beach early, like around 8 am, to snag a good spot before it gets crowded. Plus, the sunrise views are stunning!

I suggest taking a water taxi from Cartagena to Playa Blanca instead of the road. It's more fun and you avoid the traffic. Plus, the views from the boat are gorgeous!

Don’t forget to bring your own snacks and water. The cafes inside can be pricey, and there are some great shady spots to take a break!

If you're into photography, bring a zoom lens! The birds are often a bit far away, and a good lens will help you capture them beautifully

My advice is to bring some snacks and water, especially if you're planning to stay a while. There are vendors around, but they can be pricey, and having your own stuff makes chilling in the park even better.

My advice is to visit around 4 PM when the heat starts to ease up a bit. We went around noon, and it was way too hot to enjoy the plaza fully. Trust me, the evening vibe is so much better!
