Taganga

Taganga is a fisher village about 15 minutes away from Santa Marta. You can get there by one of the mini buses in the Carrera 5. As of september 2012 bus fee is 1200 COP.
It's famous destination for Snorkel lovers. The views are really amazing though the beach is ver short (about 300m if much). From Taganga you can go to Playa Grande, another small beach, about 20 minutes walk away. There are some folks who can take you there by boat as well. There're 2 or 3 policemen at about the middle of the path so it's very safe.
The tricky part is that it's very sinuous up the mountain and down the mountain on the other side. It's also very close to a precipice so you must be careful. Playa Grande is pretty like a swimming pool, cristal water, you can see the bottom of the sean even on parts where it's like 2m deep. You may also rent a kayak. The snorkel party happens closer to the Aguja island.
