Playa Baoruco
A long white-pebble beach along the coastal road, backed by the Sierra de Baoruco, with several eco-style guesthouses nearby.
Playa Baoruco lies about 15 km south of Barahona. It is one of the more developed stretches for accommodation along the coastal road, with several eco-lodges and seaside restaurants lining the shore. The beach is mostly white pebbles. The sea is bright blue but the waves run strong, so it suits looking at the sea, walking and watching sunsets more than swimming. It is also the mountain road entrance to the larimar mines. Entry is free.
