Arrecifes is one of Tayrona's best-known named beaches and a major omission from your current array. It is the park's largest beach sector on the classic Zaino hiking route, with a dramatic, open shoreline and strong surf. It is famous visually, but not a beach for casual swimming because of dangerous currents and wave action.
