Santa Marta's El Rodadero neighbourhood is known for its beaches and offers lots of things to see, such as Rodadero Beach and Arrecife Shopping Center.
Comuna 2's Historic Center neighbourhood is known for its beaches and restaurants, and entices visitors with attractions, including Parque de los Novios and Santa Marta Theater.
Whether you want to collect beach glass or watch the sunset, Rodadero Beach is a spot you might want to check out when visiting central Puerto de Gaira. Enjoy the sunset by the shore at Blanca Beach, Santa Marta Beach and Bello Horizonte Beach.
If you like quiet time surrounded by flowers and greenery, hang out at Parque de los Novios in Historic Center. Why not take a stroll along the beaches and watch the sunset while you're here? Want to stretch your legs a little more? Head to Simón Bolivar Park and Camellón Rodrigo de Bastidas Park, both a short walk away.
Take the children to visit the sea life who live at Rodadero Sea Aquarium and Museum during your holiday to Santa Marta. While you're in the area, stroll along the beautiful beaches.
Commune with nature and explore the great outdoors at Blue Well during your travels in Minca. While you're in the area, stroll along the beautiful beaches.
Bask on golden beaches where the Sierra Nevada mountains dramatically plunge into the Caribbean Sea. Explore the lush rainforests of Tayrona National Park, spotting monkeys and toucans in the canopy.
I recommend visiting El Rodadero for a couple of nights and experience this beach town. Restaurants, entertainment, shopping but, two nights is enough there. Be sure to to do BK restaurant for great food and a beautiful sunset.

Santa Marta has plenty to do. Restaurants, nice walking on the Malecón. And it's close to many great day trips like Minka, Taganfa, Tayrona park Palomino. Each one an easy and interesting day trip

Worth a visit however the nicest beaches near Santa Marta need to be traveled to and the area tends to not be walkable or completely safe for tourist at night

Don't venture alone past the Cathedral and ask your hotels for recommendations. Take Uber if you need to go further, it's fast, efficient and safe.

"We stayed one night and enjoyed the large, minimalist room — spotless and comfortable, with plenty of space to relax. The double bed was very comfortable, though given the size of the room, having queen beds in all rooms might be a nice improvement.
The Wi-Fi was superfast and reliable throughout our stay, which was great for getting some work done. The air conditioning kept the room cool in the tropical heat. The shower pressure was good, and the water temperature was warm, but didn't need to be hot given the warm outside weather.
Check-in was easy and welcoming, with very friendly and personable staff who made us feel comfortable right away. We appreciated using the common area to work both before check-in and after checkout, which was very convenient as we waited for our airport transfer.
The property felt very safe, with 24-hour staff presence. It was also nice to see a dog on the property, which added a friendly, pet-friendly atmosphere.
Breakfast was simple and basic, but still appreciated. We didn't use the pool or spa, but the pool area looked inviting and well-maintained.
The location was excellent — just a short, walkable distance to the beach front and local cafes. The airport bus stop is only about 50 metres away and offers a very affordable transfer option to the airport (COP 2,700 per person), much cheaper than a taxi."
"El hotel tiene un ambiente muy tranquilo, ideal para familias. Cuentan con personas de seguridad en la playa que te hacen sentir más seguro. La comida que ofrece el hotel es de muy buena calidad. Una excelente experiencia si quieres ir a descansar."
"We had a great time at this hotel. It has a big pool and a separate one for the little kids. It has access to the beach and was very quiet and clean. The staff was truly amazing, always helping and welcoming. We decided to stay three nights and really enjoy everything the hotel offered and I think it was more than enough time. The food at the restaurant was great, it included the breakfast but I think they have reasonable prices for lunch and dinner or just snacks. I booked for my two boys, my mom and my niece, we had the bedroom with two queen beds and a sofa bed in the living room, two bathrooms, balcony, dinning room and a small kitchen at the entrance. I think the kitchen area can use some update or just remove it completely, the furniture in general can be outdated but overall was very clean and pleasant. It worked for us because we really wanted to enjoy the beach and pools but be aware is far from the city and not a walkable area outside the hotel. I truly recommended for families looking to get relaxed "
