DOMINICAN REPUBLIC. The Bavaro Beach area is a 30 mile long beautiful beach with many all inclusive resort options. The water on this side is the Atlantic ocean, but you can also stay more southern on the Caribbean Sea. The Dominican Republic is a fairly newer destination becoming popular in the 1980’s, but they have made it a great destination option. Take a catamaran to Saona Island, zip line, or drive an ATV…there are numerous activities, or do nothing and just rejuvenate with the sound of the ocean.
