Punta Cana, Dominican Republic

Relaxation by the sea!

Punta Cana, on the eastern tip of the Dominican Republic, is what Caribbean postcards are made of: twenty-five miles of white sand, swaying coconut trees and more than 35 resorts (which by law cannot be taller than a palm tree). European tourists long ago discovered Punta Cana and Americans are now catching on. At this affordable tropical getaway, most guests choose to stay in all-inclusive resorts. The town itself isn't a tourist draw; the primary purpose of Punta Cana is relaxation by the sea. To enter the Dominican Republic most visitors need only a valid passport with two blank pages.

• Golf

  The Dominican Republic has become one of the hottest spots to tee-off in the Caribbean, if not the world. Here golfers will find 19 courses with oceanfront fairways and dogleg lefts around swaying coconut palms.

• Gambling

  Try your luck at blackjack, craps or a slot machine. Most major resorts feature casinos which are open until dawn, if not 24 hours.

• Altos de Chavon Museum

  Located on the Chavon River, this archaeological museum boasts a collection of more than 3,000 artifacts from the native Taino Indians who once inhabited the region.

• Scuba Diving

  Punta Cana features the longest coral reef in the Dominican Republic. If diving conditions are rough, fresh water inland dives will provide a different type of underwater experience

• Beaches, Beaches Beaches...

  Punta Cana beach is often referred to as the coconut coast due to its hundreds of swaying coconut palms scattered along the 30 miles of super fine white sand.
