About Punta Cana
Punta Cana is known for its all-inclusive resorts — but step outside the resort gates and you'll find a different Dominican Republic. The fishing village of El Cortecito, the local seafood restaurants in Cabeza de Toro, the cenotes and mangroves of the Indigenous Eyes Ecological Park. A Local Friend in Punta Cana shows you the real east coast — the beaches without the lounge chairs, the colmados serving fresh fish, and the bachata bars where Dominicans actually dance on weekends.
