The Caribbean, virgin land, crystal-clear waters
teeming with life. Three inhabited islands and
various cays and islets surrounded by reefs
populated by Mother Nature.
A warm and joyful people who turn dreams
into reality. This is what
you will encounter when coming to San Andres.
Downtown San Andrés:
Downtown San Andrés is locally known as
North End, here is where the tourist, business
and shopping zones, government offices and the
main beach are situated. Musical concerts are
organized on the main beach, and the majority of
the restaurants are in this area. The
architecture is basically modern, although a few
Island houses remain as a reminder of days gone
by.
The main beach of the Island is known also as
Sprat Bight, it has 450 meters of white coral
sand, crystal clear water and is one of the most
popular beaches on the Island. Here one can find
Island girls to make the popular corn row
hairstyles (canga), small boats to navigate to
the cays and fiendly people playing with a
frisbee. Johnny Cay is right in front of this
beach exhalting the beautiful view.
The Pox Hole:
The sea has carved out a natural swimming pool
in the coral rock, which is great for swimming,
snorkeling and diving. It is to the South-East
of the Island, next to the Tom Hooker road.
Blowing Hole:
It is located on the most southern tip of the
Island. This natural phenomenon, the Islander's
pride and joy, is produced by a series of
subterranean tunnels in the coral reef that come
together at this point just a few meters from
the sea. At high tide when a wave comes in
through the tunnels with sufficient force, the
compressed air in the tunnels comes rushing
through the hole.
