Playa Catalina, Sand beach in La Romana, Dominican Republic.
The white sand beach stretches along the western coast of Catalina Island, featuring clear waters and coral formations beneath the surface.
The beach gained prominence in maritime history when the remains of Captain Kidd's ship were discovered in its nearby waters in 2007.
Local fishermen maintain traditional fishing methods at Playa Catalina, capturing native species like Guatapana and Jureles in the Caribbean waters.
Visitors can reach the beach by taking a 30-minute boat ride from La Romana, with tours departing regularly from Casa de Campo and Playa Bayahibe.
The underwater landscape near the beach includes a shallow-water museum featuring the preserved wreckage of a 17th-century vessel.
