How to get out Caracas
El Litoral, or the narrow band of coast between El Avila and the Caribbean Sea, is also known at the State of Vargas and the location of the best airport hotels. These beaches are not well known with visitors but are popular with Caraqueños on weekends. The area has been slow to recover from the disastrous mudslides of December 1999 which ironically made the beaches better. Still they are of lesser quality than the beaches of Choroni, Morrocoy, Mochima or Margarita.
La Guaira - historic port district
Macuto - long history as the favored among the urbanite Caracenos and most crowded on weekends
Caraballeda - upscale district with yacht marina
Naiguatá - surf and cultural festival zone
Catia La Mar - west of the airport with cheaper hotels that do airport pickup. Marginal neighborhood and beaches
El Hatillo - nice restaurants and pretty colonial architecture.
