Playa Viyeya beach

Playa Viyeya is a beach in the northeast of Ocoa Bay - on the Caribbean coast of Dominican Republic. To be honest, this beach would be considered as mediocre even in Europe. Rocky entry into the water is rather uncomfortable. While coastal vegetation is not a kind of tropical paradise. However, there are also some good things about this place. First, there is no problem of algae. Second, there are no crowds of tourists. In fact, this is a rare case to meet anyone here. Shore and seabed: stones, sand. [edit]

Hotels [edit]

There are no hotels right near the beach of Playa Viyeya. However, within a walking distance (about half an hour), there are several villas - from US$200 to US$300 per night. This is probably a good option for luxury ecotourism. But still it's totally overpriced by Dominican standards.

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.
