Nestled in the heart of Cabo De La Vela, Colombia, Playa Dorada is a picturesque beach that mesmerizes visitors with its golden sandy shores stretching for miles. The beach, renowned for its serene atmosphere and captivating sunsets, offers a variety of activities such as swimming, sunbathing, and beach volleyball, among others. However, Playa Dorada has few amenities, so plan your trip accordingly, although it does not have lifeguards on duty, bathroom access, permission for dogs, facilities for visitors with disabilities, allowances for nude recreation, or camping and surfing opportunities.
