Warm clear calm water and soft white sand. Slightly windy enough for sailing and other water sports. The only downside is the seaweeds during late summer months.
Dominican Republic or St LuciaThe Dominican Republic ticks all the boxes if a week in paradise relaxing on a sun-soaked beach is for you. However, if the idea of getting close to nature and embracing local culture sounds right up your street then St Lucia should be where you're headed.
Violent CrimePunta Cana is one of the safest destinations in the Caribbean. The crime rates are low and violent crimes are pretty much unheard of. Hotels and resorts are very well-guarded and do not allow people who are not staying in them on the property, aside from the members of the staff.
A day at the beachAbove all, Bávaro Beach is an incredible beach. A stretch of coastline covering most of northern Punta Cana, from Cape Engaño to Arena Gorda Beach. Turquoise water, tall and lush palm trees, perfectly white sand and more. Basically, the typical snapshot of a true Caribbean paradise.
Taxis within and around Bavaro are plentiful, and the beach itself is free and accessible to the public, although large portions are reserved for resort guests. The four public access points are at Bibijagua, Jellyfish, Corales, and Cortecito.
