Another upscale island destination popular with the Colombian upper classes is Punta Iguana, which feels like a mini-South Beach. Less-expensive day-trip options dotted around the archipelago range from Colombia's version of a swim-up bar to a variety of touristy beaches equipped with cooking huts where freshly caught fish is simply but succulently prepared. Everywhere, women tout $8 massages. Beware if you're sunburned; sand and a vigorous rub can really chafe. In a few places, hawkers sell rough strands of pearls - they...
