The capital's closest beach town, set on a shallow reef-protected lagoon where the water stays waist-deep far from shore. Its proximity to Santo Domingo and the international airport makes it a busy weekend escape for Dominican families, with fried-fish stalls and merengue at full volume. Weekdays are far quieter and reveal a laid-back budget beach base.

Where next?

The world is wide open.
