1. Cabo San Juan del Guia

    You earn this beach, which is half the point. Getting to Cabo San Juan del Guía means hiking through Tayrona's jungle or arriving by boat, so the crowd that shows up actually wanted to be there. Dense vegetation spills right onto golden sand, two bays wrap around a rocky outcrop with a little hut perched on top, and one side is calm enough to swim while the other reminds you the ocean is in charge.
