Playa Blanca/Larga

How would you get to Playa Blanca/Larga? By bus then what gets you to the beach? Are there resturants there?

I much prefer Playa Blanca, La Barra de Poti

Catch the "Inte City" bus from the bus stations two blocks South of Central Market. Catch the bus to "Petetlan". This will take you on Hiway 200 South thru Cocoul and then Los Achotes. Just tell the driver and they will know what you are doing. At Los Achotes get off the big bus and take a Pasajera to La Barra de Potosi. Pasajera will be a beat up pick up truck with covered bed and bench seats.

Enjoy

I know how to get to Barra but what about the other end?

I'm a bit confused. To my knowledge Blanca and Larga are wo separate beaches and not connected. the N end of Blanca is by the airport and you can get there by airport combi andt take a pasa jera from the N end of the airport parking lot near Andy's that goes down the beach frontage road to La Barra.

To get to Playa Large you take airport combi to Playa Larga turn off; no bus from there to Larga to my knowledge.

You could taxi if you want to to Playa Larga. Or you take the Petatlan bus and get off on 200 and walk the road to Larga, I've done it but it's a ways. It all depends on how far you want/are able to walk and adventure. I love the stretch from the beach at Barra then walking north. Great way to spend a day enjoying the great outdoors.

I believe they also have a small covered pick-up truck from Silo 200 to Playa Larga at least I have seen one from time to time.

Playa Blanca & Playa Larga are one beach. It's just a map line that separates the two. The other day we walked from the enramada Marlin on Blanca to enramada Quatro Hermanos on Larga. However, as you pointed out earlier, Larga and Blanca do have different road accesses. ....JB

Playa Blanca is a little harder to get to but Larga is easy! Taxi for 90 pesos or bus & cattle truck way cheaper! Great restaurants @ Larga & Blanca!

Tim, my understanding is that the North end of the beach is Playa Larga.

You get there using a similar manner of transportation that you would use to get to Barra de Potosi. Take the Petatlan bus (combis to Coacoyul would also work) and ask the driver for Playa Larga. The stop is just before the fork in the road to Coacoyul. (Avoid the Slauson Cut-off at all costs.) There will be a pasajera at the intersection to take you to the beach.

At the beach there is a "T" junction where you get off, with the road running both left and right. There are enmaradas in both directions. We went to the left (appropriate for this board) and chose a place at random.

The pasajera for the return journey waits at the "T" junction.

Note: Each time we have been there the water has been quite wild as it is not protected like the bay.

Thanks Mike, That is some useful info.
