Playa la Ermita beach

Playa la Ermita is a "local" beach on the Atlantic coast of Dominican Republic. In fact, this is just a fishing village. This is also a good surfing spot. As for a pure beach holiday, it is still possible. But the scenery is not very beautiful by the standards of Dominicana. Shore and seabed: sand, stones. [edit]

Hotels [edit]

Apartamentos La Ermita Provincia espaillat Gaspar Hernández Rio San juan frente a playa la Ermita are apartments with rooms' rates starting from US$50 per night. Conditions are rather mediocre. But it's Ok for one night.

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.
