Playa Juanillo

The long stretch of sandy coastline is Punta Cana's claim to fame. Powdery white sand is fringed by coquettish coconut palms. Located away from the popular Bavaro, Playa Juanillo has kept its original allure, and much of it still appears to be untouched by man. In a calm and low-key location, with its only one restaurant, it's the perfect place for relaxing on the sunbeds while admiring the sunset.
