Bayahíbe's Absolute Essentials

Located on the Caribbean coast east of La Romana, Bayahíbe centers around its active harbor and white-sand beaches. Playa Dominicus was the first beach in the Caribbean to receive Blue Flag certification, while Playa Bayahíbe serves as the town's primary public swimming area. The local port acts as the main departure point for catamaran excursions to Saona and Catalina Islands. Local dive operators utilize the area’s proximity to coral reefs and shipwrecks for underwater exploration.
