Arena Gorda Beach
Playa Arena Gorda
A long stretch of white sand north of Bávaro, lined with large all-inclusive resorts. Its wide beach is ideal for long walks along the shore.
Playa Arena Gorda (“Coarse Sand”) is the stretch of the Bávaro coast extending north. Its sand is soft and white, and the beach is wide and long. Several large all-inclusive resorts line the back of the beach, making it one of the areas with the highest concentration of hotels in Punta Cana. Offshore reefs are few, and occasional swells make it suitable for swimming, stand-up paddleboarding, banana boat rides and other water sports. Walking south along the beach leads to Bávaro, and walking north leads toward the Macao area. The beach is public, but most land access points are occupied by hotels. Non-guests can walk in along the sand from the Bávaro side.
