It is possible to sleep at the beach in the nearby resort town of Awaza (aprox approx. 10  km away), at least when it is not high season.Simply get the city bus number 6 towards [[Awaza]] from the stop in front of the train station (Wokzal). It costs 50 tonne and passes every 20-30 20–30 minutes. You will also be nearer the roundabout where you can hitchhike north towards Garabogaz and the Kazakh border. ''[[user:Rovingsnails|RovingSnails]]:the The place is not really thought for hitchhikers , but there are comfortable places at the beach - in . In front of the Tajrish hotel Tajrish it is possible to camp sheltered from the sun by an umbrella. Ask the bus driver to drop you there or anywhere near the beach.''

If you are in a big hurry because your visa expires, a taxi from the train station will take you to the border. When we asked for prices they started in The driver will start at $100 $ for two people , but fastly came you can quickly negotiate down to $60(or even $. The police said it would be possible to get it for 40$ but we did not insist and hitchhiked insteadif you are patient). Just make sure they will really take you to the border, and not just to Garabogaz, ; the last 50 km after Garabogaz are through over unpaved road and would cost you an extra $10$ if you are hurrying and need to get a new taxi. [[Category:Turkmenistan]]{{IsIn|Turkmenistan}}
