Playa Caleta beach

Ultimate guide (October 2024)
Playa Caleta is a beach in the west end of La Romana, Dominican Republic. Though this beach is beautiful, unfortunately, it's too "local", which means "not well kept". There is a lot of trash ashore and on the streets, and everything looks ugly. But if you want to get a real Dominicana, you are welcome! On the other hand, there are cheap shops nearby. So this is probably a good place for budget tourists. Shore and seabed: sand, stones. [edit]
This beach ranks #65 of the "Best beaches in Dominican Republic"

Hotels [edit]

Near Playa Caleta beach, there are several hotels with rooms' rates ranging from US$40 to US$140 per night. It's not very cheap by Dominican standards, since the beach is rather mediocre.

How to get there [edit]

Main airports in Dominican republic: Punta Cana international airport (PUJ), Santo Domingo international airport (SDQ) and Puerto Plata international airport (POP).

It is convenient to use a taxi, which is relatively inexpensive. For example, a trip from south to north of the country can cost $100.

To move between the small towns you may use minibuses (shuttle buses). Locals call them gua-gua. One ride costs a few dollars. Bus stations are called parada.

There is also good bus transport system in the country. We recommend Caribe Tours and Metro companies. Buses are brand new, and travel from one end of the country to another will cost about $10.

Though all prices given above are in U.S. dollars, it is better to have local money (peso) when traveling around the country.

When to go [edit]

Feel free to relax in Dominicana any time of year. The sea is warmest in summer, but the heat is the most intense as well. And there is also a hurricane season from June to October. On the other side, the winter weather is more comfortable, but seawater at the northern coast is too cold that time.
