Those coming by car can park at either C4 or D1, head towards the shoreline, and you will be able to see the site. Additionally, the inland direction from the perspective of the site will meet a big canal. Those coming by public transport can also take buses that arrive at VJC. Moreover, do note that there are two restrooms nearby and several pavillions for shelter just in case of sudden bad weather.
