Top 10 Best Beaches in Punta Cana
Most people think that Punta Cana is one area with one (big) beach (literally Punta Cana Beach), which is easily accessible from everywhere. But surprise, it is right the opposite. “Punta Cana Beach” is not existing and the whole Punta Cana region is spread out along a coastline of 40 miles, lining up different beautiful beaches like precious pearls on a necklace. With this choice of more than a dozen strips of sand, I am explaining to you here the differences between the top 10 beaches, giving you some recommendations on where to stay and showing you which is the best beach in Punta Cana.
