Short Taxi Ride From La Crucecita to Santa Cruz

Taxis base their rates on area, they do not use a meter. The cost was 35 pesos from downtown La Crucecita to Santa Cruz Beach. This picture was taken on a different day, I added it as a reference.

Police Presence

As Michael and I walked to find a taxi, we walked past the police. I felt very safe with this type of policing. Mind you, it was intimidating at first – but very effective, no! I advocate for this type of policing in Canada! There is something really badass about it!

Santa Cruz Beach

Santa Cruz Beach is a popular destination, especially for families. The taxi dropped us off at the entrance of the beach, that is overflowing with shops and restaurants.

The Beach

The beach itself is tucked away in a small bay, but not so small that cruise ships can enter. It’s more sheltered than Chahue Beach, without a rip tide, making it more family friendly.

We arrived late morning. The beach wasn’t yet crowded but would slowly become so by mid-afternoon. There were lots of sellers walking the beach – but they weren’t too pushy. Cold beer was just a short walk away in one of the many restaurants lining the beach!

Afternoon Crowds

• 

Michael and I packed up as the mid-afternoon sun started to roast us! As we walked back to the entrance of the beach, in search of a taxi, we discovered this cotton Christmas Tree with a rather out of proportionally sized Baby Jesus!

Michael and I returned to our Airbnb apartment for an afternoon siesta, to rest up for our plans to return to Santa Cruz Beach in the evening for New Year’s Eve celebrations!

Buenas tardes

S, 🙂
