Colombia naturist beaches

Boca del Saco (also written Boca de Saco) is a wide, wild beach of white sand inside Tayrona National Natural Park, east of Santa Marta on Colombia's Caribbean coast. It lies just beyond Cabo San Juan, the park's best-known beach and campsite, and is backed by palms and dense jungle, with big boulders at its ends and old dry roots half-buried in the sand. Because it is the most remote of the beaches on the main coastal trail and rarely busy, it has become Colombia's best-known place to sunbathe nude, used by both Colombian and foreign visitors, many of them backpackers staying at Cabo San Juan. It is not legally designated as a nudist beach; nudity is simply customary here. The sea is the critical issue: the waves are large and violent, currents are strong and the sand shelves unstably, and a sign on the path warns that around 100 people have drowned at this beach. The park does not allow swimming here, so treat it as a place to sunbathe and paddle at the edge only. There are no services on the beach itself.
