Climate and location of the Dominican Republic

What are the best beaches of the Dominican Republic
The republic has never been deprived of the attention of Russian and European tourists who visit it all year round. Some use tour operators and packages where everything is included, others go to get to know the Dominican Republic in a way that other people don’t know, rent cars and small coastal houses and explore the beaches of the Dominican Republic on their own. In any case, it has several of the most popular places that are worth a visit.
Punta Cana
Perhaps the most popular resort in the Dominican Republic. It occupies the eastern coast of the island and has approximately 70 kilometers of pristine white sand beaches, clear water and many hotel complexes with different numbers of stars.
Ecology and natural beauty is a very important aspect in the Republic of Dominican Republic. Punta Cana's beaches and coastal areas are protected from construction that could harm the pristine beauty and the many coconut trees that the island is planted with.
One of the richest beaches with all amenities is Bavaro Beach. This resort occupies about 50 kilometers of water surface and takes 60% of tourists around the world. Its popularity is due to the coral reef, which is located in the water at a distance of 800 meters from the coast, and it is very close and gives many advantages. The water becomes calm and calm, there is a wonderful opportunity for diving and other water sports.
Boca chica
This resort has a wonderful location and all the amenities for a family holiday. In the southeast of the republic, Boca Chica beach gained its popularity. Dominican Republic is a small country, but visiting many places for a short vacation is problematic. Boca Chica is located just 30 kilometers from the center of the republic - Santo Domingo, which is considered to be one of the most colorful and exotic tourist centers. It is there that you can go on many excursions and plunge into the life of the local population, try national cuisine and consider architecture.
The beaches of Boca Chica are protected by a coral reef forming a lagoon, the depth of which does not exceed 1.5 meters, so it is safe for children. If Punta Cana has the best hotels and resorts for recreation, then Boca Chica has the best beaches with fine sand and the most clear water.
Santo Domingo
Once upon a time, the first Spanish city called Isabella was built on the lands of this city. After a while, because of the most powerful typhoon, only fragments remained from the city, and a new city was erected on its ruins, which UNESCO rightfully considers the property of mankind - Santo Domingo.
This city has no beaches where you can swim, despite the fact that it is located on the coastline. The fact is that the coast there is very rocky and uncomfortable, so this city is worth a visit to study architecture and nightlife. On the famous Mackelon (15 km avenue) there is a huge number of cafes, restaurants, nightclubs and other institutions, among which there is the opportunity to have an unforgettable vacation without visiting the beaches of the Dominican Republic.
Resting in Santo Domingo, you should definitely visit the “Columbus Lighthouse”, which is located in the eastern part of the city on a hill. There is a museum at the lighthouse with the remains of Columbus and other interesting monuments. To relax on the beach, you can go to the coastal villages, which are a 40-minute drive from the center, and enjoy the clear sea.
Samana
This place is for those who prefer an individual holiday and do not want to share the beach with other tourists. Samana is considered a truly wonderful and mysterious place, which for some unknown reason has not yet settled down by tourists. The beaches there are also protected by a coral reef, but in addition to resting people, they can also find huge sea turtles, humpback whales and many species of birds.
La romana
This city is preferred by tourists due to the fact that it has an international airport, and Santo Domingo is located 131 kilometers away, which is very close and convenient. While in this city and visiting the beaches of the Dominican Republic, you visit the beaches of the Caribbean. It is also a huge cultural center, combined with natural splendor.
