Playa Guanábano, Caribbean beach in La Altagracia Province, Dominican Republic
Description
Playa Guanábano is a Caribbean beach with white sand and blue water bordered by tall palm trees. The shoreline contains several small coves and a calm inlet that make it easy to explore different sections.
History
Fishing families have worked these waters since the early 1900s, establishing a maritime heritage that shaped the area. Their long presence turned the place into a known fishing ground within the region.
Culture
Local families gather here on weekends to prepare and share traditional seafood meals by the shore. This practice reflects how the beach remains woven into daily social routines.
Practical
The beach is easily reached by a paved road from Bayahibe village with parking near the entrance. Early mornings or late afternoons tend to be less crowded, making them better times for a quieter visit.
