Playa Macao

Playa Macao

Playa Macao is an absolute insider tip. The public beach attracts both tourists and locals alike. So far, only a few hotels have settled in the area, which makes this beach still very pristine. Here you can also rent a surfboard and ride the waves, or just enjoy the sun on the beach. A day at Macao beach can be perfectly combined with a visit to one of the small local restaurants serving delicious fish dishes.

Playa Dominicus

The two beaches, Playa Dominicus and Playa Bayahibe, for example, are only six kilometres apart and you can reach them in just an hour's drive from Punta Cana. The landscape is breathtakingly beautiful, small bars and restaurants spoil you with local delicacies and if you want to jump into the cool water, you will find beautiful reefs for snorkeling and diving.
