Walkability at Hotel Cabañas Isla Mágica is totally by the beach. The ‘street’ here is sand. From the hotel, you can walk for miles along either direction of shoreline on the Gulf of Morrosquillo. And this is what most guests do here: in the morning and late afternoon when it’s cooler there are families walking up and down all over; vendors selling cocadas (coconut sweets)and fruit; locals seen exercising- beach has become scene! Because water so shallow an calm sometimes able walk quite far out into ocean as well which unique characteristic Coveñas.

No, there is not a classic “town center” or downtown that’s within a short walk. The beach itself acts as the commercial hub or strip. Walking along the sand or on the road parallel to it, there are numerous small tiendas (convenience stores) selling beer and water and snacks and beach toys. More makeshift beach bars and other hotel restaurants nearby where you can stop for a drink or different meal. It’s communal and lively, with the main thoroughfare of human interaction being the beach itself.

But for the big shopping, banking or supermarket (like an Éxito or Ara), the walk is too long and hot. They are further down the main road or in town proper. Around here is strictly beach leisure. You won’t find museums or parks nearby; the ocean is your park. Walking here is about catching a “raspao” (shaved ice) from a passing cart and enjoying the sun, rather than reaching any particular destination.
