So is this dirt road just to the north of Paraiso? Does it open into a parking area? I remember the first time we went (in the van with A'ndrea and co.) and Paraiso was closed. We parked just to the north in a parking area which looked like a local entrance to the beach.
I'm wondering if there are also other beach clubs to the south of Paraiso? If you take a right at the T, are there places that are good for hangin' out down there? We'll have to do some exploring this year. My husband didn't like the food at Paraiso at all last year...and it wasn't cheap!
