Drive along the highway until u just pass Rafferty's resort on the left, then look out for a sign on the right that says "Cayherine Hill Bay" then turn right and follow the road for a bit and there are multiple spots u can turn off on ur let, but to get to the jetty go to the end after the pub and park in the carpark!
