Isla de Providencia, Colombia
beaches:
* South West Bay (most beautiful to stay the whole day, lots of shadow and
restaurants and bars - no snorkelling)
* Playa Manzanillo (good beach, lots of seagrass, not too much shadow in the
morning, some restaurants - no snorkelling)
* Freshwater Bay (small beach, difficult to find -no signs-, supermarket is on
the street, shadow is good in the afternoon)
* Almond Bay (small beach but beautiful and good to snorkel, small bar and
sunbeds and chairs in the shadow)
* Fort Bay (good to snorkel, almost no shadow, lots of stairs to get there and
the stairs are under construction!!)
* Morgan's Head (can only be reached via boat or canoe but good for snorkeling
- must see!! )
* Crab Cay (good for snorkeling, can only be reached by boat or canoe - must
see!!)
other tips:
* rent a scooter for at least 2 days to explore the island
* mototaxis cost 15.000 COP/ride but are not very reliable as later in the day
you are having difficult times to get one
* taxis cost 30.000 COP/ride
* boat tour: with a bigger group (15-20 people) 120.000 COP / private tour
350.0000 (must-do on the island!)
