Playa Las Terrenas

This white sand beach runs along the town’s center, tucked between Playa Punta Popy and Playa Las Ballenas–in essence, a portion of the same five kilometer (eight miles) stretch welcoming those arriving into the dream beach town of Las Terrenas. You’ll notice fishermen’s canoes in some parts, as well as a handful of beachfront bars, hotels, and a boardwalk for those who want to hike along the beach without touching the water. The beach eventually connects to Pueblo de Los Pescadores on the west and the wide, swimming favorite Playa Las Ballenas.
