It's not hard to take things easy at Coconut Cove Beach, the private paradise tucked in one of Puerto Plata's quiet coves. Before you hit the beach, you'll embark on a leisurely ride along rugged, outback roads that take you deep within the Dominican countryside. Travel past lush pastures dotted with rustic wooden homes and charming villages, where friendly locals greet you with a wave. Once you arrive you can do as little or as much as you like. Take in the views of the coastline while lounging on a beach chair, curl up for a snooze or take a dip in the warm ocean. And if you're looking for more active pursuits, explore the rest of the property. And when hunger calls, a buffet serves up a delicious lunch featuring authentic Dominican favorites accompanied by national beers and rum.
