There are two. From Calle Adelitas between Villas Mercedes and Rufos, take that steep hill straight up. At the top is a stairway leading down to La Madera beach. If you turn left at Villas Mercedes onto Calle Adelitas (away from Rufos), keep walking a few blocks until you see a wide, paved walkway on the right going down. You'll end up at Rana Rene on the left, La Madera beach in front of you.

OR, walk down Calle Adelitas towards the ocean. When you get to the "Y", (the fork in the road?) where the old cemetery is, on the left, there's a walkway out to the "seawall". Turning left gets you to Playa La Madera.

That beach is actually known as Playa Las Manzanillas or Playa Caracol.

The sherpa route is my favorite. It feels so good when you get to the top!

That's the one we use most also!

Unless you are training to become a Sherpa guide in the Himalayas, I recommend option #2, the paved walkway off Adelita, next to the Palacios Hotel.

Hello,
I was wondering where the access points to Playa Madera are. We’ve been there by following Paseo del Pescador from Principal but I wanted to know if there are access points from the streets to the north. Thanks in advance.
