Playa Bávaro (El Cortecito)
Beach · La Altagracia, Dominican Republic
The long white-sand strip that made Punta Cana famous, running past the El Cortecito fishing village and the Los Corales area. Calm, shallow water behind an offshore reef suits swimmers and families as well as catamaran and snorkelling trips. Public access points around El Cortecito keep a lively local feel, with craft stalls and beachfront eateries between the resorts.
