A delight
PJT has visited the place many a time when wanting to escape the routines of Punta Cana. It is quaint location of a few narrow streets of typical wood or block construction. Recent paving of streets have given residents pride and they have done well by maintaining them clean and also by adding nice touches to their homes. The rocky bluffs overlooking the Bahia de Yuma house a line of restaurants on either side of the street that follow its outline. Most offer a standard fare of seafood at reasonable prices. The delight of this location is sitting at a table under a thatch roof at the edge of the bluff on a hot day downing a very cold beer while enjoying the constant breeze off the water. The only thing that is missing is a bucket of fried clams.
The beauty of the place is it does not overwhelm you, it makes you feel comfortable. The few peddlers will approach you and are respectful if you do or do not avail yourself of their wares or services. Weekends the site is crowded, table service may be slow, and parking is limited. Weekdays offer the best time for a lunch visit, less crowds, and more attentive service.
A side visit to the Ponce de Leon museum in San Rafael de Yuma is an option, see the previous photos. The museum is under a remodeling at this time so entrance may be restricted. Entrance price is RD $100. The museum is closed on Mondays.
Go and enjoy.

PJT
