Ok...let's get away from all the negativity for a minute...
When I was in the DR on vacation (December) I went to a beach in Las Galeras called Playa Rincon. I read that this beach was rated as one of the top 10 in the world, by Conde Nast traveler, so since I was in Las Galeras anyway, I had to go see it. I was not disappointed. This has to be the best beach that I've been to. Everything was just perfect. Great scenery (Mountains on one side, Coconuts on the back, etc), the softest sand, not too wavy not too quiet, and to top it off, there were very few people there. I really enjoyed it. Has anyone else been there? If not, I would highly recommend it. You can take a boat right from Las Galeras, or drive through a somewhat rough road (4x4 recommended). I was told that they are going to build a resort right in front of it, which in my view is a a shame, but what can you do? You can't stop "progress", I guess...
