Absolutely breathtaking beach. One of the most beautiful ones I've ever seen and I've been around quite a few. It's been years since we've been there, but I'm dying to go back.!Full review by KimberlyT1520

Most disappointing choice. Horrible location especially for ladies, harassment on streets when you walk to the beach and cars full of locals stop and call you to join them to the car or whistle to a …Full review by Trek01282777336

Hello Kevin sorry for the late response. There is a lot of seaweed all year round on this side of the island. So not possible to swim most of the time. The problem is that all the beaches are private and that the hotels, resorts, recover with a tractor every early morning all these algae which they reject a little further on the few small ends of the island accessible only for the Dominicans. It is a place with a lot of insecurity where corruption reigns, drug problems, gratuitous attacks more and more common with stones, pistols or machetes, even wild ambushes or home jacking. If you are white you are regularly threatened everywhere on the island, for small things and not to mention the street vendors who harass you or are on the lookout for the right moment for the pick pocket. Dominicans are most of time very lazy and don't mingle with you because they consider you outcasts or they want to take advantage of you with a smile and a knife behind their back. They are racist, espacially towards the poor Haitians wha are fleeing the violence and whom they use as slaves to do their dirty work. A place to avoid for a few decades unfortunately. People are violent, deceitful and treacherous. We will never set foot on this island again. We recommend Madagascar or Sri Lanka, which is much more tolerant, pleasant and magnificent.
