Punta Cana
Things to do in Macao for Macao Beach day visitors
Macao is the wild Atlantic-facing beach 25 min north of Bávaro — surf school, fishing boats, no resort wall, real Caribbean dunes. Best things to do: 1 h surf lesson with Macao Surf Camp ($45), buggy convoy stop at the cliff-top viewpoint, sunset shrimp + Presidente at Chris's beach shack. The only place near Bávaro that doesn't feel like a resort.
