Top Beaches in Punta Cana

Be aware of the local vendors; they can be persistent! I almost bought a super overpriced souvenir but ended up walking away, and I'm glad I did. Just be polite and firm.

If you're planning to do any water sports, book them in advance. I thought I could just walk up and rent something, but the good stuff was all booked up for the day.

Check out nearby beach bars for happy hour deals around 4 PM. You can save some cash on cocktails while watching the sunset.

Don't forget to bring cash if you plan to rent umbrellas or chairs; many places don’t accept cards, and having cash on hand will just make things easier.

My advice is to arrive around 10 AM for the best sun and fewer people. I got there later, and it was so crowded; it chilled the vibe a bit!

If you're considering water sports, my advice is to negotiate prices with local vendors. I found that I could save a lot by just asking for a better deal rather than going with the first price they gave me.

Get there by 9 AM to snag a nice spot under a palm tree. By noon, it can get crowded, and you'll be fighting for shade, which is a lifesaver in the heat!

my advice is to bring your own snacks and drinks. i ended up spending a bit too much on food and drinks at the local vendors. pack a cooler and you'll save money while enjoying a beach picnic with a view!

my advice is to arrive around 9 am when there are fewer tourists. the beach is more peaceful then, and it’s easier to snag a good spot with a great view
