Plus, unlike some beaches in the Caribbean and Mexico that are narrow or short, Punta Cana’s sandy shores are wide and deep. It’ll feel less crowded, and you’ll have MORE room to dig your toes into the soft sand, shut out the world and let your worries be swept away by the cool ocean breeze.

Take our word for it–Punta Cana's water is the most stunning color of turquoise that you’ll ever see. The temperature is like bath water, the waves are generally calm and it’s as clear as a clean window! It’s perfect for snorkeling or just chilling waist-deep with a cocktail in hand (we prefer the latter, can you tell?)

Imagine yourself relaxing at a Punta Cana all-inclusive resort, ordering bottomless cocktails based on your mood. Need something fruity? How about a Rum Punch. Something rich and creamy? Let’s go with a Piña Colada. And if you need something with a zesty kick, you can never go wrong with a refreshing Mojito!

The Dominican Republic’s jungles are green, lush and bursting at the seams with excursions. Go horseback riding amidst the flora and fauna. You can zip line, hike through ecological parks and swim in ancient caves. If you’re a water lover, there are plenty of activities scattered along its shores, too. You can frolic with the nurse sharks and stingrays at the Marinarium, or sail over to Soana Island, where you’ll experience the magic of an (almost) uncharted island.

The locals are friendly and warm, too. Just like the weather! The weather is nearly perfect. Temps range from the upper 70s to the low 80s most of the year, so if you’re suffering from seasonal depression, you can shorely find your happy place on a Punta Cana beach.
