The nearest would be the route "C" guagua which runs along the main highway. So you would have to walk to the highway from the airport and walk from the highway to Blackbeards. A lot of walking especially if warm or raining (and it is usually one or the other in the DR). To add insult to injury, the "C" guaguas are relatively infrequent (every 20 to 30 minutes) and incredibly slow. So I would forget that option.
I am a real tight-ass but I would bite the bullet and take a taxi from the airport if I had any sort of baggage.
A cheap option if nothing to carry: walk to the main highway (about half a mile). Catch a publico to the Hospital in Puerto Plata. Catch a "JC" publico to the main gate of Costambar. (The JCs run about every 20 to 30 minutes and cease around 6 pm). Then take a moto to Blackbeards. But even I would forget all that and take a taxi.

Posts: 48Publico / Buses Question
So the last 5-6 times I have been to BB's I have rented a car for my trips (knock on wood no accidents and only day time driving). I wanted to ask is there a specific Publico or bus that goes from the airport to the road that leads down to BB's and then maybe walk the 2 k that it takes to get to BB's. Thanks.

Haven't been to BB's in two years and just saw some staff changes on their newsletter. Can any tell me if Mamasan Kristal is still there?

I think the last "JC" publico to Costambar leaves the city about 5 pm but you would need to check as I have not done it for many years.

Posts: 319Many guys are sick of this too.
Especially when they check Uber price. Let's try not to use the services of mobsters whenever possible.

Posts: 319Do you mean Cialis or Viagra?
If yes, there is a pharmacy across the street from Jenny supermarket near the main gates of Costambar. Generics are DOP 50 per pill, originals are about DOP 500.

Hello to all,
I have been reading the board for some time but have not seen this posted (unless it was sometime ago) but what is the availability of male enhancers at BB?
Thanks.

Posts: 148Sick and tired of the taxi mafia.
My cousin was leaving Blackbeard's for the airport and the rest of our friends were leaving on the same exact plane. They had arranged a van to take them that was not affiliated with BB or the mafia, so he was going to hitch a ride with them. But one of those taximob SOB's sat and waited for the very moment they left to say that they had too many people in the vehicle, and that someone would have to take him. I had some choice words for that SOB, since I wasn't leaving and thought that it was none of his fuckin business about who was riding along, but he was persistent and my cousin ended up caving to his demands, but there's no fuckin way I would let him snatch me from a ride I had already arranged.

Posts: 319Just plan 15 extra minutes for Uber arrival when you leave FROM Costambar.
The problem with taxi mafia is only when you leave FROM Costambar, not when you arrive. These assholes charge you DOP 2,000 instead of DOP 500-550!
I would recommend sending the following message to the driver-When you enter to Costambar if asked by the guards at the gate where are you going, just tell them that you picking up a friend, do not mention Uber. Cuando ingrese a Costambar si los guardias le piden a la puerta a dónde va, solo dígales que está recogiendo a un amigo, no mencione a Uber.

Speaking of coordinates, I will be flying into SDQ from FLL on spirit this Thursday. Anyone heading to the North coast on the same flight, PM me. I would enjoy the company. I am going to BBs but if you are going Sosua way I can get you to the Publico in Puerto Plata.

You got your answer, so this is extra. I recently flew in / out of POP, and also looked around for the usual tourist card kiosk, but lacking that, went right into the line with my customs card. A new addition to the process was the photo taking of fingerprints at the customs booth, but that was very quick. Best of luck to you, and take care.
