Playa Marbella — Attraction in Cartagena

This beach was fun to hangout at if you want to stay close to town or if you don't want to pay to go to a private beach. The price for a table, umbrella and two chairs was reasonable and the umbrella was good quality for providing shade. There are vendors walking along the beach selling food, drinks, and services like massages. Some are more aggressive than others but all were polite. You can also order from the menu and pay with a credit card (100K minimum).

There are police and lifeguards looking out for everyone. The beach and water were clean and I only saw two jet skis that seemed to be for official purposes (not for rent). The waves were on the bigger side so be careful. The only facility I saw was an outhouse that cost money. Overall it was a lively beach and fun for swimming, eating, drinking and...

Great beach to visit in Cartagena Colombia. The waves can get pretty strong, so be cautious if you are not confident with your swimming ability. There are quite a few life guards around and police near by to make the beach feel safe.

They have beach chairs, umbrellas and private sections of the beach sectioned off if you are looking to pay a little fee to enjoy those luxuries. If not then lay down your beach towel and enjoy sun.

This beach also gets a great sunset view, beach closes up at 6:00PM regularly.
