Santa Fé has emerged as a trendy and hip destination on the world's tourist map, especially for international backpackers, due to its relaxed atmosphere and closeness to over three dozen islands of Mochima. Though this fishing town may appear boring from the outside, it is a much sought after place for those wishing to get away from the humdrum and noise of the cosmopolitan environment. The beach is nothing special, but it's clean and the water is clear. Make sure you carry insect repellent with you.

Sightseeing
Spend your morning lazing in a hammock and then head to the beach to soak up some tropical sun in the afternoon. At night you can revel in an upbeat party atmosphere, downing fruity merengadas and chilled beers, on the packed beach without breaking into a sweat on viewing the prices! The credit for this goes to the writer and journalist José Vivas, and the residents who have been inspired by him, in making Santa Fé a sustainable ecotourism resort.
