Cabo Rojo
A coastal village on the southern cape near Pedernales. It is the departure point for boats to Bahía de las Águilas and has a wide, shallow white-sand bay nearby.
Cabo Rojo is a headland south of Pedernales, named after its red bauxite soil. The wharf at the fishing village of Las Cuevas is the departure point for boats to Bahía de las Águilas. The village has several seafood restaurants, where freshly caught lobster and fish with coconut rice are the signature dishes. Cabo Rojo beach is a wide, calm white-sand bay, ideal for wading for those who don't want to take a boat. In recent years the area has been developing resort hotels and an airport, and some roads are under construction. It is about 2 hours' drive from Barahona and is usually combined with Bahía de las Águilas and Laguna de Oviedo in a day trip.
