From that drop off point on the main coastal rd. Rt 200, you can catch a ride on the shuttle (covered pick up with seat bench's) that makes the run from the main road to the beach about every 30 minutes. That last leg to the beach which is partially paved and part dirt road should take about 15 minutes. Another option is to go by taxi. Cost should be about $ 300 and the bus cost about 30 pesos (approximately) "Taxi rates shown are as effective Feb. 1, 2006. Subject to change"
