San Andres Island (Colombia) is a coral island in Caribbean Sea, with total area approx 26 km2 (10 mi2) and population around 70,000. San Andrés and the neighboring Providencia Island and Santa Catalina Island form the department "San Andres y Providencia". The group is located approx 775 km (482 mi) northwest of mainland Colombia (South America).
San Andres is a tender cruise port, which means that vessels anchor offshore and transport/ferry their passengers via the ship's tender boats or Zodiacs (motorized RIBs/Rigid Inflatable Boats) to the Cove Embarcadero Pier.
Puerto San Andres is visited mainly by smaller-sized luxury and expedition-type cruise ships and superyachts. The cruise lines/luxury travel brands visiting San Andres Colombia include MSC Explora Journeys, Scenic, Seabourn, Windstar.
In 2023 was opened the new cruise pier El Cove Embarcadero. The Port's infrastructure was also improved by adding new public bathrooms and shaded seating areas.

A 30 km (19 mi) long road circles the island and connects beautiful beaches, cays, coves, and geysers. Also popular among tourists are the pond Seaquarium and the freshwater lake located amidst mangrove forests. The island's scenery is also marked by lush pastures and coconut palm plantations.
