Dominican. Punta Cana and Bavaro – “Coconut Coast”

In the east of the island, where the Atlantic merges with the Caribbean Sea, there is a picturesque town of Bavaro and the adjacent area of Punta Cana, which gave its name to the nearby coast. Here are the best beaches of the country with white coral sand, which does not burn feet, and the sea is azure in color. The coral reef protects the beaches of Bavaro and Punta Cana from ocean waves. And because of the abundance of palm trees, they are often called the “Coconut Coast”. Every year, the Bavaro/Punta area receives about 3 million tourists who want to relax in luxury hotels under palm trees with all-inclusive service. In the cost of living, absolutely everything is included. Some luxury hotels do not have to pay for cigarettes. However, despite the impressive number of tourists, the beaches stretching for tens of kilometers even in the height of the tourist season look extremely deserted. Throughout them, local peddlers offer tourists a variety of goods and services, including the opportunity to eat, buy souvenirs, etc. Since most of the beaches here are private and well-maintained, rest on them is much calmer than on public beaches in other parts of the country. It is clear that getting peace and privacy, tourists to some extent lose the feeling of local color. The resort has fewer than usual establishments with merengue music, and songs at discos are most often heard in English.
