Sardina Bay Beach
This is the main beach of the island, it is located in the entire city center between the Decameron and Portofino hotels, and there is a pedestrian path where you can find restaurants and commercial stores. This beach is one of the most beautiful, it is familiar, that is why it is one of the most crowded. The recommendation is that when they get in they wear shoes for the sea because many urchins can hurt them.
-
Rocky cay beaches
It is a beach that has a rocky key in front and can be accessed by walking due to the low depth that the waters reach. The recommendation is that they can be calm for their elements since there is a Lockers service for a value of 7,000 Colombian pesos, about 2 dollars.

San Luis Beaches
If you want a beach with privacy and where you can relax, it is 15 minutes from Rocky Cay. The recommendation is to go to Bahía Sonora, which is a beach within the beaches of San Luis. It is far from the center but you can also find restaurants, snorkel rentals, and coco loco.

Cocoplum Bay
It is also part of the San Luis beach, it is a beautiful beach with white sand, turquoise waters, and huge coconut palms. The recommendation is that they enjoy water sports and get to know the sunken ship, so they will realize how the coral reef protects the island.

Johnny Cay Island
It is a small key that is located 5 minutes from San Andrés and has one of the best beaches in Colombia along with a crystalline blue sea.

The boat ride costs $30,000, the entrance to the island $5,000, and the return is always at 3 in the afternoon.

Haynes Cay Aquarium or Beaches
The aquarium is a beautiful key less than half an hour from San Andrés, which is highly recommended to visit. It is surrounded by a coral reef where you can swim with fish of different colors, bring your snorkel because although you can rent it at the aquarium, they are often not available or are not as good, there are also lockers to leave your belongings while you swim.

The Little Pool or "La piscinita"
