The one-kilometer stretch of Arena Gorda Beach features white sand shores meeting turquoise Caribbean waters alongside rows of palm trees and coastal vegetation.
The eastern coast of Dominican Republic, including Arena Gorda Beach, served as a primary landing point for European settlers during the colonial expansion in the 16th century.
Local vendors at Arena Gorda Beach display traditional Dominican crafts, including handmade jewelry using amber and larimar stones found in the region.
