Among the World's Best Beaches
The Dominican Republic's beaches are widely celebrated as being among the world's best, and for good reason. Here, more than 1,000 miles of sugar-colored sand is gently lapped by warm waters so clear and blue one has to see to believe. It is a land of wonderful contrasts, from towering mountains to lush rainforests to cacti-studded deserts. You can retrace the steps of Christopher Columbus, climb to the highest point or dive to the lowest point in the Caribbean, see humpback whales, and play the Caribbean's top-rated golf courses.
