Bayahibe, Dominican Republic

The basics

While the town of Bayahibe is fun to explore and walk around, the real draw is its gorgeous coastline. The beach borders clear turquoise water, whose clarity makes an excellent spot for snorkeling and scuba diving. If you can tear yourself away from the sand, explore the area on horseback or by bike. Bayahibe is also a gateway to the island of Saona, located 45 minutes away by boat.

I wasn't sure what to expect, but this will be one of the highlights of our trip! Our guides were knowledgeable and professional. The best parts were climbing down into the cave, and seeing a glimpse of Dominican Republic outside of the resort. Mucho Gracias!
