Perfect for swimming, sunbathing, and surfing, the quiet and calm Playa Grande is a far cry from the touristic resort areas like Puerto Planta or Punta Cana. This beautiful beach is quite simply one of the island's little-known treasures, providing awe-inspiring views and golden sands. Map

Some traditional concessions can be found nearby offering tasty snacks and drinks, and various private day trips can be organized to this beach from some of the larger cities in the area. The waves here can reach some impressive heights, so if you're looking to do some surfing in the Dominican Republic, Playa Grande should be on your list of places to visit.
