Cartagena day trip to Playa Morena Beach Club with a guided walk in Fuerte de San Fernando de Bocachica and typical island lunch.
“Nice boat for a smooth ride out to the island of Boca Chica. Our English speaking guide did a good job explaining the fort and guiding us around. After the 1/2 hour walking tour we were directed to the beach club. It was pleasant there, with comfortable seating and a bar. The water didn't really appeal to us so we spent time relaxing.

I would have preferred a tour that included the markets, the old wall and its history. Instead we walked the streets, visited each of the main plazas and looked at church facades.
