The beach at San Pedro de Majagua is popular with day visitors to Islas del Rosario.

About an hour by boat from Cartagena, Colombia, lies the Islas del Rosario (Rosario Islands). These tiny specks of land offer a scenic getaway for locals and visitors alike, with their sun-soaked Caribbean beaches and variety of water-based activities, including diving, snorkeling and swimming.
During a recent visit to Cartagena as a guest at the beachfront Holiday Inn Cartagena Morros hotel, I took a day trip to Islas del Rosario spent a few sunny hours at Hotel San Pedro de Majagua, a small property where day visitors can sit on the beach, and join activities including an open-air aquarium on a nearby island — check out my shark-feeding aquarium video here — and have lunch (I recommend the fresh seafood). Here are a few photos from my most recent visit.
