"The cost of living in Cabo Polonio, is relatively low compared to many Western countries. The cost of housing is quite affordable, especially if you're renting. However, buying property can be more expensive due to the high demand and limited supply. Food and groceries are also reasonably priced, with local markets offering fresh produce at lower costs. Dining out is also inexpensive, with a meal at a mid-range restaurant being quite affordable. Public transportation is not available in Cabo Polonio, so there's no cost associated with it. However, if you own a vehicle, you'll need to consider the cost of fuel, which can be higher than in other countries. Healthcare is generally affordable, especially if you're a resident and qualify for the public healthcare system. Overall, while the cost of living in Cabo Polonio is low, it's important to remember that it's a remote area with limited services and amenities," said one expat in Cabo Polonio.
