Cabeza de Toro Beach
Playa Cabeza de Toro
A quiet bay just south of Bávaro, sheltered by coral reefs with shallow water and gentle waves, suited to families and snorkeling.
Playa Cabeza de Toro (“Bull's Head”) lies between Bávaro and the Punta Cana resort area. Offshore coral reefs block the wind and waves. The bay's water is shallow, calm and turquoise, making it a great spot for children to splash and for snorkeling. Behind the beach are several mid-sized all-inclusive hotels and small apartment buildings, and the atmosphere is quieter than Bávaro's main beach. The nearby Dolphin Explorer and the Bávaro Lagoon Protected Area can be visited on the way. The beach is open to the public, but when entering from resort access roads, be mindful of hotel private areas. Sargassum occasionally drifts ashore from May to November.
