It is 7 mi/11 km long and 1.5 mi/2 km wide. It has wide pink and white beaches coral reefs coconut trees and an extremely friendly population. This relaxing place is good for long periods of fishing diving and duty-free shopping. Providencia Island some 45 mi/75 km to the north is less developed and even more relaxed than San Andres—it’s worth the extra travel time.
