When you\u2019re heading to the beach, there are only a few requirements to guarantee a great time. Warm sand? Check. Beautiful water? Oh, yes. Impeccable weather? Of course! Lucky for you, if you\u2019re in the Dominican Republic<\/a>, you\u2019ll find all these and much more. For a little inspiration to get you started, check out our top picks for the beaches you won\u2019t want to miss while you\u2019re there!<\/p>\n

B\u00e1varo Beach<\/h2>\n\"Bavaro\n

Looking to claim your piece of paradise?

Grab a drink and settle in to watch adventurers parasail, kayak and paddleboard \u2026 or catch a wave as you take a dip in to the ocean yourself! Whether it\u2019s a little R&R or an epic escape you\u2019re after, B\u00e1varo Beach offers the best of both worlds.<\/p>\n

Macao Beach<\/h2>\n\"Macao\n

And whether you\u2019re a first-time surfer or an experienced pro, you won\u2019t find better waves in the Dominican, so get ready to hang ten!<\/p>\n

Playa Rinc\u00f3n<\/h2>\n\"Playa\n

For travelers who want to get off the beaten path without heading across the world, the Caribbean beach of Playa Rinc\u00f3n is just the place. Tucked away in the remote Saman\u00e1 Peninsula, this hidden gem is worth the drive from Punta Cana<\/a>, offering miles of pristine coastal scenery framed by lush green mountains. And with its unique, off-the-grid location, you might just discover you\u2019ve found your own private beach!<\/p>\n

Sos\u00faa Beach<\/h2>\n\"Sosua\n

Popular with locals and tourists alike, Sos\u00faa Beach has so much to offer, you may not know where to start! Snorkel or dive through the calm, protected bay and explore a vibrant new world beneath the waves, teeming with coral and marine life. When you come up for air, you\u2019ll find more than great views and powder soft sand. An exotic atmosphere with local flavors and flair is waiting for you!<\/p>\n

Cayo Levantado<\/h2>\n\"Cayo\n

If you need an escape from the throngs of tourists, make a break for Cayo Levantado. This island off the east coast of the Dominican Republic may not be the easiest to reach, but it\u2019s definitely worth the trek! Accessible by rental boat or ferry, this isolated and scenic retreat is guaranteed to satisfy your craving for sand and surf. Hike the trails that connect the island\u2019s three main beaches, or simply soak up the sun and enjoy the view.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
