Me and one of my buddies (it will be 2 guys) are blowing some hotel and airline points next week and heading south to Santo Domingo. We are staying at the Renaissance by the coast but want to venture to a beach or two to enjoy cold beer and warm weather. Reading some other threads has me concerned about violence in Juan Dolio and Boca Chica seems a little to "out there" for our taste. Are there any beaches that are safe and can satisfy our simple needs? Guayacanes seems legitimate, is that a good idea? Thank you all for your knowledge. We will have a car.
