The nearest beach is 30-45 minutes away. If you take a taxi it will cost about $30US each way. Mass transportation would be much less expensive, but I would not recommend it until you get familiar with the area. Depending on where you are in the Capital you may need to take more than one guagua(sic).vouvoune said:Thanks for all the help...I will be taking SPanish classes in the morning and want to head to the beach in the afternoon. What is the best way to do that within budget?
