Take the Duarte Hwy to Villa Elisa. When you see the Isla Station turn right. First few kilometers are fine...then it is a dirt road. Not bad but dirt and gravel.
after about 12-15 minutes, you come to the top of a hill and can see the ocean. It is a beautiful sight!
At the bottom of that hill you come to El Papayo, where you go to the right. That road was being scraped and bettered a while ago. You take the first left turn, after you go through a little villa...no name that i know.
The left turn will take you to t he beach.
the way through Luperon is not good. You have to cross the river (no bridge) and then through some fields to La Isabela, then left over really poor roads for at least 45 minutes (maybe 30) and then go left again in Estero Hondo...you come out at la Ensenada....but I would not recommend that route...
From POP it should take about 1:45...or so....from the highway into the beach is 30 minutes going slow to take care of the vehicle.
They have cold beer at the beach and if you go over to La Ensenada, go see Elsa and eat like kings!! Or in the town go see Damaris, good eats, too....
