Once you reach the causeway, follow the pedestrian path that runs alongside the road until you see the signs for the Don Patricio Causeway Ruins.

Once on the causeway, continue biking along the designated bike lanes until you reach the Don Patricio Causeway Ruins. Make sure to wear a helmet and follow all safety rules while biking.
