This small resort town is the picture-perfect tropical paradise, with beautiful beaches stretching for miles and dozens of palm trees nodding along the sand, earning its nickname as the Coconut Coast. There are many opportunities to take advantage of the distinct marine life, by diving, fishing or even swimming with dolphins. The idyllic island of Isla Saona, known for its coastal lagoons and spectacular reef, is only a day-trip away. The locals are warm and friendly, welcoming you with open arms to explore the food, dance and Creole music that makes the island so lively. It’s one of the best golfing destinations in the Caribbean, with custom-made greens complete with sweeping views of the ocean front. Visit the coastal plains and mangrove forests of the local parks, which are home to over 100 bird species, 160 insect species and 500 plant species. A variety of airlines fly directly to Punta Cana International Airport, making for an easy flight with minimal air transfers no matter your starting point. - Where is Punta Cana?
