Bavaro Beach

World-famous Bávaro Beach–often lumped into the general “Punta Cana” reference–ranks among the longest, most continuous white sand beaches in the Caribbean. Extending 48 kilometers (30 miles) and surrounded with coral reefs, it’s also the most developed section of this Punta Cana resort area. Beachfront resorts, restaurants, and gift shops line the beach. Most of this stretch is walkable, and thanks to its calm, turquoise waters, ideal for water and beach activities including parasailing, riding speedboats or sailing on a catamaran.
