The route that I found is about 160miles and would take 5 hours. The route goes up to Orotino and up to Limonal. Is there a quicker route to drive from San Jose to Playa Junquillal? Thanks!

...just returned from there. Nice, tranquil place with a turtle rescue center, black lava beaches, and some nearby camping.

from Los Yoses (San Pedro) to there did not take me 5 hours. I drove the autopiso to Punteranus, from there north on Hwy 21 through Nicoya to Santa Cruz and so forth. A super green and beautiful drive this time of year.

Have fun. Pura Vida

Autopiso to Punteranus, is it a toll road? And you did not need to take a ferry? Are the HWY 21 roads good also, it will be in November when we make the drive. Thanks EdB!

just like you were driving to Jaco - there are four (4) toll stops of various prices

I did not take the ferry I con't north - (23 to 1) I had a GPS that instructed where the hwy turnoff was....

drive and roads are excellent (flat) and great for passing the occasional trucker.

The road into the beach is a dirt road btw

have fun - pics are on the way....

Pura Vida

That is the quickest route! Driving there via San Ramon takes longer, taking the ferry would take much longer!

Yes, the 27 is a toll road.
