Public Beaches?

[bookbox]

This is my first time in the Dominican Republic at this time of year and I'm really disappointed with the volume of seaweed I have to navigate before I reach the sea (Uvero Alto).

Which is the best, seaweed free, publicly accessible beach on the east coast, ideally for a bit of paddle boarding? I don't mind driving but not too far!

Thank you!

Playa Los Corales – Located in the Bávaro area, Playa Los Corales is a lively beach with a mix of public and private access.. This is what you are looking for........

If seaweed is here now, it will be more or less the same amount of it anywhere on the east coast. They clean the sand in front of some resorts, but that doesn't solve the problem, the water is still full of it.

I saw an article (somewhere) that stated the mass of seaweed coming our way is by far the largest ever.

Agreed....Playa Sosua is generally pretty good for SUP.

You forgot to mention that anyone who swims at Boca Chica beach comes into contact with 2 kilos of excrement.

∆∆∆∆∆ which always made me wonder how two top tourist restaurants attracted their customers at outrageous prices.

I am still going to tell everyon to go to Punta Cana.

Try Sosua.

But it's a long way from the East coast, which is what the OP is looking for.

Normally the beach area around Bayahibe does not have the same issues with sargassum as the Punta Cana area beaches.

A long shot indeed but one of the best beaches in the world for swimming.
