Car
If you're starting from Jayapura, drive towards the Depapre area. Follow the road signs to Depapre, which is approximately 30 km away from Jayapura city center. The quickest route is to take Jl. Raya Jayapura – Sentani and then continue onto Jl. Trans Papua. Once you reach Doromena, look for the area marked 'HCMG+H9X' in your GPS or on a map application. It will lead you right to Pantai Doromena. Parking is available near the beach.
Public Transportation
From Jayapura, head to the main bus terminal and look for minivans or buses heading to Depapre. The fare is usually around IDR 20,000 - IDR 30,000 per person. The journey takes about 1 to 1.5 hours. Once you arrive in Depapre, you may need to hire a local motorcycle taxi (ojek) to reach Pantai Doromena, which should cost around IDR 10,000 - IDR 15,000.
Motorcycle Taxi (Ojek)
If you prefer a quicker option after reaching Depapre, you can hire a motorcycle taxi (ojek) directly from the bus drop-off point. The ride to Pantai Doromena takes around 15-20 minutes.
