It would be a lot easier to read your posts if you did not type IN ALL CAPS!
Did you know it is considered SHOUTING on the internet and very poor etiquette!
Do a little research on Las Canas, they have been known to have serious power issues, in Sosua. I do not know if the two are affiliated.

Thanks. I will make sure to visit this area on my next trip to Playa Grande.

jackieboo said:I know the area you are asking about. I spent a lot of time researching the area and looking at houses there. First off, it is safe. The beach is dirty but nothing that 2 days and a $100.00 couldn't fix. The beach is similar to that on the east side of Caberete and isn't a beach that I'd consider swimmable. It is beautiful though.
The issue with Las Canas is it's location. The plus side is that it is remote and for the most part unspoilt by urban growth. As an investment, the same is true, it's remote and the return potential is limited.
Lastly the power situation in Las Canas is deplorable, even for the DR, so remember to include a top of the line generator and inverter system in to your budget.
Hope this helps and good luck.

It goes for about 2 miles, I would guess, on a very uneven dirt road. The condition of the road would concern me as well as the posts about very poor electricity there.
It is a pretty location however.
Is the beach not swimmable because of undertow/reefs? There were not big waves the day we visited like there can be at La Boca in East Cabarete.
SPMGIRL said:I am glad to hear from someone who has bought there..I am in the process of buying a lot there. I think its very beautiful but I wasn't sure about the safety of the area and whether the beach was swimmable.... you never see anyone swimming there.Good luck and enjoy !
North Coast Gringo said:I have bought in Las Canas. The beach is usually swimmable, however, you need to play it by ear. I believe there may be undertow on some days. Just be smart about it.
windeguy said:Is Las Canas windy like Cabarete? I ask the question because once it starts to develop, it could be "invaded" by Kite and Windsurfers. Not necessarily a bad thing, but do the geography and wind work for such activities?
