Suggestions for 5 days along the Caribbean Coast?

Heading to Cartagena on 11-July and have 5 days to spend along the coast - was planning Tayrona National Park initially but as I don't have yellow fever vaccination, may be best to avoid it I hear.

As a result - was wondering if there were any suggested must see/do's along the northern coast for my time

In particular if there's anything in the way of good places for sunsets, or secluded nice beaches, etc - I'm looking to make a romantic day or two out of my time there as well with my lady friend.

Thanks in advance

Pick a place such as Cartegena or Santa Marta and just explore that limited area and take the time to feel the country

If in Cartagena, I have heard Cocoliso Resort is awesome and might be just what you are looking to find. Never been but it's on my hit list for August. They have a website to check out.

Heading into the less trafficked places is a great idea but 5 days isn't enough time.

Buritaca is very nice. I stayed there in 93 for several days.
