About San Andrés

English Puritan settlers reached the archipelago in the 17th century, and the islands later passed under Spanish and then Colombian control in the early 19th century. The Raizal people, with their own Creole language and Protestant traditions, remain a distinctive part of island life. Today San Andrés is a Caribbean beach destination off Nicaragua's coast, known for its turquoise waters and coral reefs.

TravelDaddy verdictPure beach time with a Creole accent.

A practical first trip balances the must-sees with one unscheduled half-day.
