Finally, something will be done to truly transform the San Pedro de Macorís malecón.
Next we need is a playa para Ahogarse, a playa Contaminada and a playa De aquí no sales vivo. It will definitely help attracting visitors.Well, as a very cynical person I could easily sit and criticize many of the decisions being made.
It’s a shame that the Howard Johnson hotel is abandoned, vacant, and derelict.
It’s a shame that Playa de los Muertos isn’t functional for the long term.
The concrete signage you mention is what I’m talking about. The one with San Pedro written on concrete baseballs as you enter from the West, not East, my mistake. It was such a huge investment when so many other things are in desperate need of attention.
But Rafa (el alcaldía) is generating pride. The city is cleaner than it used to be. Some of the old buildings are being appreciated. I’m sure his wallet is fat.
My cynical side that knows this country well says in 5 years it will all be vandalized and there will be trash everywhere once again.
The tiny bit of optimism that I have hopes it will last a little longer than that. People in San Pedro and across this country work very hard for very little and in spite of it all, they tend to be much more optimistic than me.
They cleaned up Playa de los Muertos and put up a new sign with the name in bold a few years ago. I don’t know what state it’s in at present.Next we need is a playa para Ahogarse, a playa Contaminada and a playa De aquí no sales vivo. It will definitely help attracting visitors.
The very first thing that beach needs is a change of name and one of those 3D hashtags with its new name.
Playa los Muertos is located in the Río San Juan Municipality of the María Trinidad Sánchez Province, north of the Dominican Republic, its name is due to the fact that in the mid-1800s in that place there was a cemetery, a curious fact is that there are still vestiges of some tombstones and bones. There is a Playa los Muertos in Honduras, in Spain, and another in Mexico.Well, as a very cynical person I could easily sit and criticize many of the decisions being made.

Opps, wrong Playa, but having said that, there was no massacre of Haitians there and it seems to be a common name for a beach.
