Once you turn off the highway, you'll drive on a smaller road that leads you directly to the beach. Be prepared for some unpaved sections, so a vehicle with good clearance is recommended. Make sure to have a GPS or a map app handy to assist with navigation.

  For those using public transportation, take a bus from nearby cities such as Manta or Portoviejo to the nearest town to Playa Lomas del Mar. Buses are frequent and affordable, typically costing around $2 to $4 depending on the distance. Once you arrive in the town, you can either take a taxi or look for local transport options such as a 'moto-taxi' to complete your journey to the beach. Inform the driver to take you to Playa Lomas del Mar by providing the coordinates or showing them the beach on a map, as some may not be familiar with the name.
