Arrecifes Beach: Tayrona National Park

Playa Arrecifes, the second beach entering Tayrona National Natural Park from the El Zaino sector, stands out for its impressive size and the presence of coral formations that generate powerful waves. These reefs in Tayrona not only beautify the landscape, but also create strong currents that prevent visitors from swimming safely in this area.

Located in one of the most virgin areas of Tayrona Park, Playa Arrecifes Tayrona is a place where nature is shown in its purest and wildest state. Although its waters are not suitable for swimming due to the strength of the sea, the beach is ideal for those who want to enjoy the majesty of the environment and long walks along the coast.

For those who are wondering how to get to Arrecifes, access is through a hike from the entrance of El Zaino, a route that offers spectacular views and the opportunity to observe the rich biodiversity of the park. It is important to be informed about Tayrona Park's schedule in order to plan your visit.
