Coveñas: The New Caribbean Gem Everyone Wants to Discover

Coveñas, located in the department of Sucre, is quickly becoming one of the most desired destinations for those seeking an authentic, peaceful, and Caribbean experience. Unlike other places overcrowded by tourism, this charming coastal spot in Colombia offers untouched beaches, crystal-clear waters, and a relaxed atmosphere that instantly captivates first-time visitors.

Its white-sand beaches—such as Playa Blanca, La Coquerita, and Punta de Piedra—stand out for their natural beauty, gentle waves, and warm waters all year round. The peacefulness that surrounds every corner makes it the perfect place to disconnect from the fast pace of city life and reconnect with nature. But Coveñas is more than just sun and sea; its growing popularity has brought a diverse and affordable range of accommodations, from family cabins to seaside resorts with all the comforts.

Beyond its paradise-like coast, the region offers unique adventures. Just nearby lies the Ciénaga La Caimanera, a mangrove ecosystem perfect for boat rides and birdwatching. A short boat trip away, the San Bernardo Archipelago dazzles with beaches like Isla Múcura—its white sand and turquoise waters are perfect for diving and snorkeling. The Coveñas lighthouse also offers unbeatable panoramic views of the seascape.

History and culture also play a special role here. The Marine Infantry Museum Park tells part of Colombia’s military legacy, while the town bursts with traditional festivities like the corralejas in January, artisanal fairs, and vibrant celebrations full of music, dance, and local gastronomy. Coveñas cuisine is deeply rooted in coastal flavor—fresh ceviches, coconut rice, red snapper, stewed conch, and crab rice are just a few of the dishes that win over visitors’ palates.

Getting to Coveñas is easy. It’s only an hour from Montería, less than four hours by road from Cartagena, and close to regional airports like Tolú, Corozal, and Los Garzones. Land transport is well-connected, and visitors can explore the area comfortably using rental cars or mototaxis.

The best time to visit is between December and March, and from June to August, when the dry weather and local festivities provide the perfect setting for an unforgettable vacation. However, visiting during the low season offers a more intimate experience—with empty beaches and much lower prices.

But what truly makes Coveñas special is its authenticity. There are no filters, no artificial tourism. Just warm people, untouched landscapes, living traditions, and a feeling of freedom that’s hard to find elsewhere. It’s the kind of place you want to discover before it becomes too popular—before the crowds take over. A place that quietly captures your heart and leaves a lasting impression.

Coveñas has everything it takes to become the next favorite destination on Colombia’s Caribbean coast. And at Tierra Querida, we believe it’s time to put it on the map. If you’re looking for sun, nature, culture, great food, and peace—Coveñas is waiting for you.
