Summary:	Cartagena is one of the most important cities for tourism in Colombia; among its main attractions are its beaches. The extensive use that is made of these aquatic systems marks the importance of carrying out an environmental monitoring to determine the quality of the beaches, in this way action measures can be taken to preserve these recreational waters in optimal conditions. The objective of this project was to monitor and evaluate the water and soil systems of three tourist beaches located in the city of Cartagena-Colombia: Marbella, Bocagrande and Playa Blanca. For this purpose, measurements were made, in soil and water, of parameters such as iron, ammonia, nitrate, pH, and fecal coliforms. Additionally, these measured parameters were compared with the existing environmental norms in Colombia in order to evaluate the quality of the environment in the three study beaches. The experimental results revealed that the three beaches analyzed comply with the provisions of Decree 1594 of 1984, except for the fecal coliform parameter, which with an average value of up to 375 microorganisms/100 ml is above the value allowed by the decree (200 microorganisms/100 ml).
