Bayahibe (2500 Ew.): This "Sleeping Beauty", a romantic, old fishing village on the South coast, has been awakened and transformed into a new tourist destination with several large all-inclusive resorts and many small hotels, restaurants and water-sports organizers, beautiful white coral sand beaches, its proximity to the large Parque Nacional del Este, with its dreamy Saona Island - and a final dash of romance.
The excursion boats to Saona Island jostle in a bay reserved for them, and another bay is reserved for the fishermen's boats. From Bayahibe, it's also worth taking a trip to Casa Ponce de León, and to the fishing village of Boca de Yuma, with its picturesque harbour among the rocks at the mouth of the Río Yuma.
do you know Bayahibe well?
