Playa Bavaro, Caribbean beach in Higüey, Dominican Republic
Bavaro Beach extends along the eastern coast with fine white sand and waters in shades from deep blue to light turquoise.
The area evolved from a small fishing settlement into a major beach destination with over twenty beachfront resorts established since the 1980s.
Local beach clubs and restaurants serve fresh seafood and traditional Dominican dishes while musicians perform merengue and bachata music.
The beach splits into distinct sections including Bibijagua, Jellyfish, Corales, and Cortecito, each offering specific access points and facilities.
Marine life thrives in the protected coral reefs near the shore, where sea turtles and tropical fish inhabit the warm Caribbean waters.
