Playa Najayo beach

Playa Najayo is the nearest good beach to the west of Santo Domingo in Dominican Republic. There are many palms and sand ashore. But in the water, there are stones and strong waves. However, in the central beach area, there is a small backwater, fenced off by a breakwater from the open ocean. There is also Bambu Beach Club located 400 m to the south-west. It has no breakwater, but it may offer a swimming pool. Shore and seabed: sand, stones. [edit]

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.
