Driving to Secret Beach: the full route from San Pedro
How to drive a golf cart to Secret Beach from San Pedro — the route, drive time, road conditions, and tips for an easy trip north.
Secret Beach is the north island's shallow, calm-water hangout, and a golf cart is the only sensible way to get there. Here's exactly how to make the drive from downtown San Pedro.
The route
Plan on roughly 30 to 45 minutes for the trip — about 7 miles all in. You'll head about 3.8 miles north and cross the Boca del Rio bridge, then turn west at the Secret Beach Junction for the final 3.3 miles.
Road conditions
Stretches of the road are still unpaved, so your drive time swings with the weather and how rough the dirt is that day. Take the loose sections slowly and you'll be fine in one of our lifted carts.
Tips for an easy trip
Set out before 10:00 AM to beat the midday traffic and get good parking
There's a gas station near the Secret Beach Junction (about the halfway point) if you want to top off along the way
Your J&H rental already includes the Boca del Rio bridge pass, so you can roll straight through the toll
Rent the right cart
Our lifted 4- and 6-seaters handle the north-island roads well. See Secret Beach rentals, check rates, or book a cart for your trip.
