Pedernales Beach Break

OVERVIEW

Spend hours enjoying Pedernales Beach, a gorgeous stretch of sand in the southwestern corner of the Dominican Republic. The drive there will put you in just the right mood to relax as the scenery is wonderfully serene. With no schedule to follow and plenty of time to unwind, you will find this remote stretch of sand a joy. Feel free to do most anything you please. You might stroll along the lengthy shore as the waves gently break on the beach, bask in the sun or simply sit in the shade of a coconut palm and admire the natural beauty. Much of Pedernales Beach lies within the Jaragua National Park, an environmentally protected area known for its biodiversity. The entire beach overlooks the Bahia de Aquilas, which translates to the Bay of Eagles. The water is typically crystal-clear and deepens gradually, so you can easily wade out into it. It is also ideal for swimming.
