The beach stretches on the sunny coast and the easiest way to get to the beach is by car or bike. If you don't have this option, then the second best solution is to use the taxi, which can drive you directly to the beach. The only problem, if your stay is far away it can be quite expensive. There is also a possibility of use of public transport, but in this case you need to check the correct route to the Skeleton Beach with the locals.

"Make sure you come here on high tide when the tide is changing, so check your times so you can see the sharks resting between Sept and March. Sadly we went at the wrong time and missed it! They like the high tide so they can rest on the warm waters edge we were told. It was a windy day also when we went so this could have affected it also.
