In Bayahibe, a small fishing village situated between Punta Cana and La Romana, you’ll find Playa Dominicus, where currents are gentle and waters are placid. Open to all visitors, this is the first beach in the Caribbean to earn the Blue Flag distinction that recognizes outstanding safety, monitoring and management. An offshore reef protects the shallow bay and nearby restaurants and arts and crafts shacks make it easy to grab a snack or escape from the sun for a bit when your kids need a break.

The Viva Wyndham Dominicus Palace Resort, with a kids club, four pools and even a seaside trapeze, is a great family-friendly option on Playa Dominicus. Neighboring Iberostar Hacienda Dominicus boasts five-star, all-inclusive accommodations and Star Camp, where kids can play mini-golf and bingo, explore their artistic side with painting and much more.
