The coastline of La Altagracia is the main draw for most visitors, and it is easy to see why. The beaches here are classic Caribbean: think long stretches of white sand, gently swaying palm trees, and warm, calm waters. The climate remains consistently pleasant throughout the year, making it an excellent choice for a winter sun break or a summer holiday. Most resorts are positioned directly on the sand, meaning the ocean is never more than a short walk from your sunbed.

Things to Do and How to Get Around

While the temptation to stay put at your all-inclusive resort is high, there is plenty to do if you fancy a bit of exploration. The region is a haven for water sports, with snorkelling and diving being particularly popular thanks to the clear visibility of the sea. If you prefer to stay on land, a stroll along the beachfront or enjoying the entertainment provided by your hotel are excellent ways to pass the time. Most holidaymakers choose to book their excursions through their hotel to ensure transport is well-organised and straightforward.
