The entrance has a barrier which you should be able to talk you way through - this is a 'private' beach resort - but not totally inaccesible.. If not go to Puerto Viejo and walk or 4x4 for 1km up the beach

Additional Information
Quality beach break - it was favoured by Tom Curren when he was cruising round these parts...
You need a round pin tail or a big concave on the flat of your board for better performance, but a simple board will still do.
