Playa El Limon beach

Playa El Limon is a great "secret" beach in the northeast of Dominican Republic. It is also known as Playa de los Reyes. There are many palms, not many people and no buildings at all. Cape Punta Hicaco protects coast from the east against algae coming from Atlantic. The bottom is rocky in some places, but this is not a total problem. Shore and seabed: sand, stones. [edit]

Hotels [edit]

Not far from the beach, there are two guesthouses: Hotel Limon and Rancho La Cueva, as well as a restaurant La Cueva. However, these are not presented in the international booking systems. At your own risk, you can get here by Uber from Miches and ask for free rooms.

How to get there [edit]

Main airports in Dominican republic: Punta Cana international airport (PUJ), Santo Domingo international airport (SDQ) and Puerto Plata international airport (POP).

It is convenient to use a taxi, which is relatively inexpensive. For example, a trip from south to north of the country can cost $100.

To move between the small towns you may use minibuses (shuttle buses). Locals call them gua-gua. One ride costs a few dollars. Bus stations are called parada.

There is also good bus transport system in the country. We recommend Caribe Tours and Metro companies. Buses are brand new, and travel from one end of the country to another will cost about $10.

Though all prices given above are in U.S. dollars, it is better to have local money (peso) when traveling around the country.

When to go [edit]

Feel free to relax in Dominicana any time of year. The sea is warmest in summer, but the heat is the most intense as well. And there is also a hurricane season from June to October. On the other side, the winter weather is more comfortable, but seawater at the northern coast is too cold that time.
