Playa Cosón, Sand beach in Las Terrenas, Dominican Republic.
The six-kilometer beach features fine golden sand along the Atlantic coast, bordered by dense palm trees and transparent turquoise waters.
The beach evolved from a remote fishing settlement into a recreational destination after the construction of primary roads connecting Las Terrenas in the 1980s.
Local fishermen maintain their traditional practices at Playa Cosón, bringing fresh catches daily to supply the beachfront restaurants with regional specialties.
Playa Cosón sits 8 kilometers from Las Terrenas center, with strong waves making it suitable for surfing but requiring caution for swimming.
The meeting point of the Cosón River with the Atlantic Ocean creates natural pools at the beach's eastern end.
