3 Best Nightlife in Santa Marta, The Caribbean Coast

This old-school rock-and-roll bar has hit just the right note with locals and tourists alike. Great music, bright red-painted walls packed with rock memorabilia, and a good selection of cold beers make this a sure thing for a night out.

Set on the pier next to the yacht club, this second-floor terrace is a great place for sunset cocktails and expansive views over the bay. As the evening winds on, chilled electro gives way to more danceable rhythms that continue deep into the night.

Resting on a rocky peninsula that juts out into the sea, the views from Burukuka are the best in town---make sure to arrive in time for sunset. The seafood-heavy menu is decent, but it is from Thursday to Saturday as the city's elite comes to party till early morning that the locale really shines. It is a little out of the way, but most taxi drivers will get you here with no issues.
