Playa Gairaca beach

Ultimate guide (October 2024)
Playa Gairaca is a beach in the northwest of Tayrona National Park, Colombia. This is not the best beach in the park. But on the other hand, it's not overcrowded. In addition, it is possible to get here by 4WD car, when it's not rainy. Please note, that though park' fares are expensive, it's quite acceptable for the foreign tourists. Entry fee is about US$7 per person, car US$4, insurance US$1.5 (useless, but mandatory), sunbed US$2, meals in cafe from US$7. Shore and seabed: sand, pebbles. [edit]

Hotels [edit]

There are no hotels near Gairaca beach. There is a campsite of María Tayrona. It's located near the road, - at the beginning of trail to the beach. And of course, there is a good choice of hotels in Santa Marta (from US$40).

How to get there [edit]

Fly to Cartagena international airport (CTG). Then get by bus or by taxi to one of the towns located around the Tayrona park, - in most cases these are Santa Marta or Taganga.

The tour to Park includes boat transportation (from one hour per way) or by bus. In the last case you'll have to walk from road to the beach, - about 1.5 hours of hard walking through the jungle.

When to go [edit]

You can relax any time of year on Playa Gairaca beach in Columbia. There is no pronounced rainy season, while sea water is always warm.
