We went to Veracruz beach in Panam\u00e1. It\u2019s only about 20km from the city, but unfortunately it\u2019s in pretty rough shape. Lots of garbage washes up & broken glass all over, amazing I didn\u2019t slice my feet.

It looks like it may have been a party place once but most of the places are shut down now, maybe because of Covid.

I found a clean\u2019ish spot on the beach to sit for a few hours of sun, my mind was elsewhere so it was easy to ignore the locals crappy music blasting.

You can’t get an Uber or cab back, I ended up taking a little bus for $1. The bus dropped me off in one of the rougher neighborhoods, but it was late afternoon & I got an Uber out quickly.
