There's a big industrial plant on one end of the beach (that can also be toured--I didn't go), and these picturesque flats on the other end. These mines are owned by the indigenous Wayuu and the salt processed in traditional ways. I'm not sure if this portion of salt is sold nationwide or only around La Guajira.

Later in the day, a motorcycle ride out of Manaure revealed just how much salt there is here...everywhere I looked there were floating little montañas de sel. It's not quite as weirdly beautiful as the Salar de Uyuni in Bolivia. But it fascinated me because unlike the Salar it was completely functional, all being processed, rather than mainly being a bizarre flat white desert for tourists to drive through.
