It's accesible only by boat and there are just some ways to arrive to Venado Island, we recommend you to take ferry to Playa Naranjo and then drive to the main streen that goes to Jicaral, after having passed through Lepanto, on the right hand side you will see a small sign that says "Penca". There you should take to the right until you reach the small pier. From there you will be transferred by boat to Venado Island.
