Isla Barú

[1] It was cut off from the mainland by the Canal del Dique, but is still connected by bridge.

It projects out southwest from the southern end of Cartagena towards the Islas del Rosario.

Most of the economy of the island is devoted to tourism and summer homes, particularly for visitors to its white sand beach.

In 1708 Wager's Action took place off its shores, leading to the sinking of the treasure galleon San José.

Transportation by boat is typically the fastest and most popular option.
