THE MOST BEAUTIFUL BEACHES OF DOMINICAN REPUBLIC


Taking a tour of the Dominican Republic coasts from north-west to south-east and heading south-west,


the most beautiful beaches outside of the tour operators



CAYO ARENA (O CAYO PARAISO)
Montecristi

It is located about 2 km from the coast of Montecristi, but the excursion boats leave from Punta Rusia.




PLAYA DIAMANTE  (O CALETON)
Rio San Juan-Cabrera

From the main road, in the direction of Nagua, about 1 km after the entrance of Rio San Juan, on the left is the road to Playa Caleton.
The roas is unpaved but passable by car.
You can eat typical Dominican or drink a cold beer.




PLAYA GRANDE
Rio San Juan-Cabrera

Continuing on the road to Nagua, about 8 km from Rio San Juan, after the golf course, begins Playa Grande, which stretches for 1 km and has discrete waves.
Suitable for surfers and swimmers.




PLAYA COSON
Las Terrenas

It is 10 minutes from the village.
It is the last beach of Las Terrenas to the west, and the most quiet, without the side street.
Definitely worth a visit.



CAYO LEVANTADO
Samanà

From the pier in Samana taxi boats depart continually, in private or in group.
But not everyone knows that, in the morning, there is also a large public boat, which costs about US$4 or US$5 each way (from 8.30 to 15.30).
In the months of January and February, during the trip you can also meet the Humpback whales, which is an unforgettable sight!
You can eat good lobster, fish and seafood, right on the beach.
Avoid weekends because it is really full of people!



PLAYA RINCON
Samanà

Can be reached by car, motorbike or quad from Las Galeras, about 15 km. Only the last 3 km are gravel road, but generally passable by all means of transportation.
Or, again from Las Galeras boats leave every morning.

Coming from the street and going to the right there are three restaurants. On the left it empties into the Cano Frio, a beautiful river with mangroves that can be navigated with small rowing boats. There is a group of "cocinere" (Dominican ladies) that can prepare fish, lobsters and conch Creole style.
.


PLAYA FRONTON
Samaná

It can only be reached on foot or by boat from Las Galeras.
Perfect for snorkeling, but bring a pair of shoes so not to cut yourself on the coral rock.
It's a deserted beach, so you must organize food and drinks.
Go in the morning, because after 2 pm, the beach remains in the shade.
Not suitable for children.



PLAYA LIMON COSTA ESMARALDA
El Cedro-Miches

You leave the road to Guaco, about 4 kilometers off the Higuey-Miches road
From the beach you can reach the lagoon along a path of about 200 meters, which starts behind the "Cannibal Bar".



ISLA  SAONA
Bayahibe


The closest point is Bayahibe.
It consists of a small fishing village Mano Juan and Catuano is the beach.

The area where the boats arrive is dotted with restaurants, bars, sun beds, massages, etc... 
But if you go a little further, you arrive in a Caribbean paradise! 



BAYA DE LAS AGUILAS
Barahona


8 km of virgin, untouched beach!
Accessible by a boat from Pedernales.
Or, a little more adventurous, along the way to Pedernales towards Barahona, after about 23 kilometers you will reach Cabo Rojo, where the last restaurant is located.
From here there are two possibilities: beautiful boat trip or, for the more adventurous, rent a high 4x4 and an experienced driver for a difficult dirt road.

What you will find is so breathtaking that there are no words to describe it!



PLAYA SAN RAFAEL
Barahona


Leaving Barahona in the direction of Pedernales, after about 10 km we meet the Balneario San Rafael.
It is an amazing place, that has existed for over 100 years!
The beautiful beach is stony, sheltered by high mountains.
The sea is now deep and with big waves.
So, along the river, the local people created the rock pools, which have created waterfalls that make other natural pools, erupting on the beach.
Here you can refresh yourself in the shade of large trees, bathing in the cool waters, drinking coco loco, waiting for lunch to be ready!

It is not recommended on weekends and public holidays.
