Beach description
Welcome to Almejal Beach, a breathtaking destination where the majestic tides sculpt the shoreline every 6-8 hours, constantly transforming the beach's landscape. As the waters recede up to 100 meters or more, the ocean floor's undulations create mesmerizing natural mirrors, capturing the essence of the sky above. Almejal Beach is particularly enchanting during low tide at night under a clear sky, when the stars twinkle in the mirror-like black sand. This unique phenomenon has earned Almejal the accolade of not only the most beautiful beach in Colombia but also its most romantic.
For those seeking an encounter with marine life, Almejal Beach offers an extraordinary opportunity to observe whales and dolphins frolicking in the coastal zone from July to December. The serene environment also provides a safe haven for sea turtles to lay their eggs in the sand, undisturbed by crowds.
