I wonder whatever happened to this:

This post (see link above) came out on the DR1 news in April 2002, I found it by chance:
"Barahona, the largest city in the southwest, will soon have its own beach. The government is building a breakwater between the Navy area and the port off the Barahona-Batey Central highway. Engineer Jose R. Hawa said the beach conditioning will include walks for pedestrians, a new boulevard, green areas, parking and illumination.
In the past, the people of Barahona had to travel 20 minutes or more to get to a beach at El Quemaito, San Rafael, Bahoruco, Cienaga, Los Patos or other coastal locations. The beach is being promoted as Playa Casita Blanca. It is expected to enhance tourism to Barahona."
