to hit the beach from pueblo bavaro you would need a 10 minutes drive down to cabeza de toro, open public beach but not much around in case of restaurants if you look for such, in that case cortecito would be the better bet passing all those speed bumps down there.
just for a fun afternoon with some cold ones cabeza de toro would be the much better bet than cortecito, always drinks available, much calmer water, much better atmosphere, use the lil palmleaf roofs as your shaddow place at the water in front of my place.
no chance to walk, much to far to everywhere, pueblo bavaro is huge even if you want to move inside that residence you need a vehicle, not very central located to anything.
if you plan to move there make sure that the electricity bills of the prior renter/owner really been paid, during the last 6-8 weeks 3 friends of mine moved there and surprisingly all 3!!! got on next "electricity payday" their lines cut due to high open preowner bills.
all got it finally reimbursed but also all first had to pay to get reconnected including the reconnection extra fee, one had the hassle to be disconnected over the whole weekend.
they have lately also in the whole residence more than just once per month waterproblems, long times no water, 2 months ago it took 4 days without any water, such is not funny in a huge residence where you can not walk around the corner and fill up some cans to flood the toilet. the whole residence is connected to one central water system which you have to pay extra, even when not working.
due to such services rental rates dropped very much this year, you can get complete houses for 350-400 US$, 450-500 and they are completely furniched.
check it out in detail and get every detail signed in a contract.
good luck
