Tourism Minister David Collado headed the re-opening ceremonies of the remodeled and expanded tourist wharf at Miches, in El Seibo province. The Miches area is regarded as the country\u2019s newest beach destination. Miches is an hour and a half drive north of Punta Cana International Airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The RD$51.4 million wharf in Playa Arriba restores the facility that was impacted by Hurricane Fiona in 2022. Collado noted that tourism in Miches is on the upswing, and this tourist dock area will improve the visitor experience of both foreign and domestic tourists. The installation is designed for small craft, launches and catamarans which provide service to locals and tourists alike. The entire structure is illuminated for nighttime use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The engineering of the new structure is designed for resilience. The pier is built on galvanized metallic piles driven into the seabed and filled with structural concrete. Its main and secondary metal framework utilizes durable W16x36, W16x26, and W8x13 beams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key features of the new facility include:
\u2022 Decking: The entire main walkway is surfaced with treated American pine wood.
\u2022 Safety: The pier features treated wood safety railings with stainless steel fittings and fixations.
\u2022 Central gazebo: A 20\u2032\u00d720\u2032 central gazebo with a structural wood frame and an asphalt shingle roof.
\u2022 Lighting system: An automated electrical system featuring 20 LED-lit wooden posts, controlled by photocell and timer for efficient night-time operation, enhancing both safety and aesthetics.
\u2022 Protective coatings: All metal and wood surfaces exposed to the corrosive marine atmosphere have been treated with protective paint and coatings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The reconstruction of the Miches tourist pier, located on the municipality’s coastline, is a key action by the Ministry of Tourism (Mitur) and the Executive Committee for Infrastructure of Tourist Zones (Ceiztur). These efforts are part of a broader national strategy focused on strengthening the country’s port and tourism infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
