Best Beaches in the Dominican Republic

La Preciosa & El Barco

Further to the east, La Preciosa serves up great surf during a swell but there are currents and rips and a decent paddle-out is required, so surfing here definitely requires plenty of experience. Nearby El Barco offers similar conditions. The Gran Bahia Principe San Juan is just a 20-minute drive to these expert surf spots.
