About Punta Cana

Punta Cana, on the Dominican Republic's eastern tip, is a coast of palm-lined white beaches, calm reef-protected water and easygoing island days.

The area stretches along a long sweep of coastline, from Bávaro Beach and Cabeza de Toro to Macao and Uvero Alto, where coconut palms lean over soft white sand. Coral reefs offshore keep the water calm and clear in many spots, ideal for swimming, snorkelling and catamaran outings along the shore.

Top-ranked sights in Punta Cana: Macao Beach (Playa Macao), Bavaro Beach (Playa Bavaro), Coco Bongo Punta Cana.
