Pacific Coast Note

If you are heading to the Pacific beaches (Monterrico, Hawaii, Sipacate), stock up on medications in Escuintla city first. Beach towns have very limited pharmacy options, and you will want sunscreen, insect repellent, rehydration salts (sales de rehidratacion), and basic first aid supplies.
