Things to do in Santa Cruz del Seibo

Undeveloped Macao Beach is often cited as the most beautiful beach in Punta Cana, managing to stand out from the crowd, despite being surrounded by miles upon miles of seemingly perfect Caribbean seascapes. Go there and you’ll soon understand why. Sink your toes into the fine-grain sands, dip your feet into the clear, tepid water and snack on local food, such as just-caught lobster.

Enjoy three-course meals and delight in a pretty oceanfront setting at the Casa de Campo Marina. This marina is best known as a safe harbor for boats up to 250 feet (76.2 meters) long. Spend time on the local golf course or enjoy a cocktail at the yacht club while you enjoy some Dominican luxury.

Find the ideal Caribbean escape at Cayo Levantado’s public beach or island resort. Hop on a boat from Samana and discover this isolated islet off the south coast of the Dominican Republic. Savor a day surrounded by white sands, clean waters and swaying palms.

Bayahibe is the iconic Caribbean paradise. Here the picture postcard comes to life, with white sands, clear sea a palm-tree fringed beach and colorful wooden boats bobbing up and down in the water.

Explore the bird-filled mangroves, rolling hills of lush vegetation and caves of Los Haitises National Park. Take a boat tour or bring a pair of comfortable walking shoes and hike through the parkland.
