This nature reserve park is a 1,500 acre private reserve that is home to various animals, plants, and birds, including some species that are endemic to the island. Featuring 12 freshwater lagoons referred to as “eyes”. These lagoons come with their own unique characteristics including different species of fish, turtles, and other aquatic life.  Visitors can take a guided tour of the park to learn about all of the difference flora and fauna, in addition to learning about the cultural significant of the “eyes” to the indigenous Taino people.

Punta Cana is home to some of the world's most beautiful beaches, you just can’t go wrong with any choice. However, there are some characteristics that may help you find the perfect beach for your travels. The most popular beach is Bavaro Beach, with crystal-clear water that is ideal for aquatic and beach activities such as swimming, snorkeling, tanning in the white sand, or shopping and dining at any of the beachside bars. Families with smaller kiddos can feel at ease hanging out at Arena Gorda Beach, where the water is shallow. Arena Gorda also tends to be a calmer beach than other more popular areas, such as Bávaro Beach. Macao Beach is another great beach location. Macao is perfect for surfing and is known for its large waves, though, it also has some areas that are calmer for a light swim. Additionally, visitors can also do a horseback riding tour or rent ATVs along the beach. Scuba divers should visit Isla Catalina for its amazing coral reef. And, for an experience on an unspoiled beach, take a day trip to Isla Saona.

You don't have to worry about leaving anyone out in Punta Cana. Even the littlest of beach bums have plenty to sink their tiny toes into. Most resorts offer supervised child care programs, staffed by certified pros you can trust. Many even have a designated Explorer's Club, where kids learn about nature and science in engaging activities like sand castle building and hunting for buried treasure. And even better, while you let the kids have fun, you can enjoy quiet time by getting a spa treatment or reading a good book poolside.

There are tons of excursions out in the area if the whole family wants to find adventure together, too. Activities like snorkeling and safari tours are great chances to learn a little while you enjoy a lot, especially if you have older kids. And places like Dolphin Island Park, Animal Adventure Park and the Marinarium give you options for having fun in the water away from the beach, too.

Playa Limon is a 2-mile, isolated, hidden beach lined with coconut trees on the northeast coast of the Dominican Republic. Completely off the beaten path, this beauty is untouched by resorts and restaurants so you'll have to bring your own food, towels and so on if you want to hang out there.

You'll find delicious lobster and seafood meals on the menu at the Jellyfish Restaurant on Bávaro Beach. It's really close if you're staying at the Melia Caribe Tropical–just a short walk south. And it's beachfront too, so you'll have a gorgeous view of the beach and ocean while you eat. If you're eating on the top level, you may even catch a wedding on the beach! 

Noah's is in a strip mall just down the street from the entrance to the Barcelo Bavaro Palace Deluxe. It's got everything: superb American/continental cuisine featuring fresh fish, steak, pasta, pizza and sushi. Make sure to try the fried camber and the Italian eggplant dip for appetizers. And don’t miss the flaming Crème brûlée either. Delicious!
