Playa Blanca is a long white-sand beach on the Baru peninsula, south of Cartagena, with calm turquoise water and simple beach restaurants and lodges. The road route from the airport crosses the city to the industrial zone of Mamonal along the inner bay, continues to Pasacaballos and crosses the Canal del Dique by bridge onto Baru, then follows the road through the peninsula to the beach. The trip is about 43 km and usually takes over an hour, depending on traffic in Mamonal.
The beach lies on the western side of Baru, facing the Rosario Islands, and boats to the islands leave from the shore. Cars reach a parking and access area at the end of the road, from where the sand and the beach restaurants are a short walk away. Several resorts are spread along the Baru coast north and south of the beach. Weekends and Colombian holidays bring many day visitors from Cartagena.
Public transport: There is no public transport from the airport to Playa Blanca listed by the airport or Transcaribe; the beach is reached by road via Pasacaballos and the Baru road, or by boat from the city.
