How to get there - Santo Domingo
Day 1: Bahía de las Aguilas
Steps: Pedernales
The star of the tropical beaches west of Santo Domingo is the Bahía de las Aguilas, the most beautiful of all. But, between Pedernales and Barahona, there is no lack of options to find an authentic sandbank lost in the wild beauty of the place. Among the less touristy spots of the country..
Day 2: Boca Chica
Steps: Boca Chica
1 hour east of Santo Domingo, Boca Chica offers delicious seafood before diving into the turquoise waters of its natural pools. It may not be the island's most attractive beach, but it's an easy stop-off on the way to Bayahibe.
Day 3: Bayahibe and Isla Saona
Steps: Isla Saona
Bayahibe is truly a dream beach, with small coves and translucent waters all around. And it's the starting point for discovering the pearl of the Caribbean coast and the pride of the Dominicans,Isla Saona. Part of the Parque Nacional del Este, its flora and fauna are protected.
Day 4: Playa Bavaro
Steps: Bavaro
After Punta Cana and its resorts, head for Playa Bavaro, an essential stopover on your Caribbean cruise. The long beach, lined with coconut trees, is punctuated with small craft markets, bars and restaurants. And the nearby tourist village of Cortecito is the place with the most soul in this area.
Day 5: Samaná Peninsula and Las Terrenas
Steps: Las Terrenas
The main attraction of Las Terrenas lies in its dozens of kilometers of white sandy beaches, bathed in turquoise water at an ideal temperature and protected by a coral reef. Offshore, the islets of La Baleine dot the horizon. And you won't be lost: 10% of the population is made up of French expatriates.
Day 6: Las Galeras
Steps: Las Galeras
Here, time stands still; simplicity pervades the traveler who makes a stopover, sometimes a longer one, so much so that he or she feels at home in Las Galeras. A small community of foreigners drives local tourism. The many beaches in the area are among the most fabulous in the country. Your only concern will be to choose one.
