If driving from The Valley, take the Long Road to East End. Continue for about 1 mile until you see a sign for Palm Grove Restaurant. Follow the dirt road east towards the beach. Be aware that the road to Captains Bay is unpaved and can be rough, so an SUV is recommended. There is no designated parking area, so find a safe spot on the roadside near the beach entrance.
