Punta Cana
Bávaro beach guide for travelers staying along the main resort strip
Bávaro Beach is the 8 km arc of postcard sand from El Cortecito down to Cabeza de Toro — the beach 80% of Punta Cana resorts technically front. Calm turquoise water, gentle slope, easy walking access from every all-inclusive between Iberostar and Riu. Best sections: in front of Meliá Caribe and Iberostar Bávaro for the cleanest sand, El Cortecito boardwalk for cheap massages (20 USD/hr), beach bars, hair-braiding ladies and fresh coconuts.
