The best beaches of Punta Cana

Enjoy the tropical paradise on the beaches of Punta Cana

A trip to Punta Cana must include long days at the beach, scuba diving or snorkeling sessions in the clear waters of the Caribbean, or long walks along the coast listening to the sound of the ocean and the swaying of the palm trees. In fact, Dominicans themselves consider their beaches to be the country’s greatest attraction, along with the spectacular green spaces. Below is a selection of the beaches you must visit on your next getaway to Punta Cana. 

Playa Macao
