Restaurants
Dining in Taganga is a bit more expensive than in Santa Marta. A comida corriente with fish at one of the beach eateries should cost $2.65-3.20. Recently several restaurants with cheaper set-meals have opened up on Calle 16, a half-block from the playa ($2.10). To save money, look for accommodation that has kitchen facilities for its guests’ use. Supertienda Taganga is the closest thing Taganga has to a supermarket; it is conveniently located on the beach road, across from the Parque de los Niños.
Nightlife
There isn’t much that happens on the nightclub scene in Taganga. There are only two places to hang out and have a drink and just chill with the locals. The most popular place amongst the international backpackers scene now is actually all the way in Santa Marta: La Puerta. (Though remember that if you return late, your only option will be by taxi; be sure to not drink up your fare back!)
