Playa Bergantín is about 8 kilometres east of Puerto Plata city centre. Take the coastal road east past Costámbar and Cofresí; look for the unsigned dirt track to the left (north) after passing through the small settlement of Bergantín. The track is passable in a regular car in dry conditions but can be muddy after rain. Motorconchos (motorcycle taxis) from Puerto Plata can take you to the beach junction. By taxi or rental car from Puerto Plata, the journey takes about 15 to 20 minutes.
