Une magnifique plage publique avec du sable fin et frais, même au gros soleil. L'eau est pure et claire, on peut y voir quelques espèces de poissons avec de l'équipement de plongée en apnée mais la zone de baignade en face de l'hôtel est délimitée et on ne peut pas la dépasser puisque malheureusement des bateaux à moteur y passent avec des touristes en parachute tiré par eux.

L'accès à la plage se fait entre autres par le complexe hôtelier "Gran Bahia Principe Bavaro" (le waypoint indiqué) mais on peut y accéder par d'autres complexes dont le Riu qui est voisin.

Vous pouvez profiter du soleil sur la plage, marcher sur plusieurs kilomètres, admirer la faune aquatique en apnée, faire du catamaran, du kayak ou de la voile, nager ou lire. Il n'y a pas de naturisme mais le monokini est courant.

Pas de chien ni de véhicule à moteur sur la plage. Des employés passent régulièrement pour ramasser les déchets et garder la plage propre et vider les cendriers.

Il y a quelques bars à boisson sur la plage et des toilettes tout près au snack bar de la plage. Une profusion de chaises de plage sont disponibles pour les vacanciers de l'hôtel.

A magnificent public beach with fine and fresh sand, even in full sun. The water is pure and clear, we can see some species of fish with equipment for snorkeling, but the swimming area in front of the hotel is bounded and we can not overcome it because unfortunately boats engine with tourists spend parachute pulled by them.

Access to the beach is via the resort "Gran Bahia Principe Bavaro" (the waypoint shown) but can be accessed by others including the Riu complex which is nearby.

You can enjoy the sun on the beach, walk for miles, enjoy the aquatic life snorkeling, make catamaran, kayaking or sailing, swimming and reading. There is no naturism but the topless is common.

No dogs or motor vehicle on the beach. Employees go regularly to pick up litter and keep the beach clean and empty ashtrays.

There are a couple alcohol bars on the beach and toilets at the snack bar on the beach. A profusion of beach chairs are available for vacationers from the hotel.
