Punta La Mara beach

Ultimate guide (March 2024)
Punta La Mara are two small beaches on the northeast coast of Samana Bay, Dominican Republic. The west beach is located in a sheltered bay, so there are no strong waves. While the east beach is wild, so not overcrowded. In any case, both of these are beautiful, and the swimming is quite comfortable. Shore and seabed: sand, stones. [edit]
This beach ranks #31 of the "Best beaches in Dominican Republic"

Hotels [edit]

There is a large condominium near the beach. Typical apartments are 75 sq. meters for about US$150 per night. All apartments has different owners. So you should carefully read the latest reviews.

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.
