Nature Places Map
Nature in La Altagracia:
Bavaro Beach
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.
Dominicus Public Beach
I recommend getting to the beach by around 8 AM. It’s way less crowded and you can snag a great spot right by the water before the sun gets too hot.
Playa Bibijagua
Macao Beach
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!
Palmilla Beach
I think it's worth the short hike to explore the nearby snorkeling spots; you might find colorful fish and coral without needing to book a tour!
Playa Palmera
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!
Cortecito Beach
Haragua National Park
La Rejoya
Bayahibe Beach
I recommend checking out the local food stalls for lunch instead of the pricey beachside restaurants; the food is delicious and way more affordable. Trust me, you’ll want to try the fresh ceviche!
