    well-deserved name!
    beautiful beach!
    perfect balance (at least, when we went) of waves; fun/safe to swim, perfect for surf beginners (there's a surf school).

    great for snorkling
    that beach is one the rare one near Las Terrenas where you can see fishes.
    a bit windy but beautiful, with trees other than palm trees.
    there are even mangroves on the East end.

    Romantica!
    In the last 5 years I have seen quite a few beaches in the Caribbean and this one is a tie for 1st with Isla Saona. Both are amazing for two totally separate reasons.

    We went after the hurricane and most of the beaches were murky. This one was not and that may have been the reason we were the only people there. One other couple was off in the distance and a local, cooking in the entrance.

    The peace is immaculate and pristine. Waters are beautiful and calm for the most part. This a mountainous area so you feel very secluded and private as this provides a natural barrier.

    The view is amazing. The area we parked at had a couple of huge estates that were built into the mountainside and over hang the edge of the terrain. There is also a smaller land mass that sits in the horizon and adds to the visage.

    The thing I love best is it is away from the "tourist" world that most of the Dominican Republic is known for.

    beautiful but VERY windy
    if you don't mind windy beaches, then Playa Coson is worth seeing.
    very long beach, you can walk for around an hour.
    the Restaurant Luis is great; delicious food, seafood is their specialty.
    really happy we've seen it, but it was so windy (it's almost always is) that we wouldn't go again (we like swimming and sun bathing).

    very looong beach!
    very, very long beach; from end to end, you can probably walk for more than 90 mins.
    it's the main beach of Las Terrenas, the city center is on that beach.
    depending where you are on the beach, it's at times beautiful and not crowded or beautiful and somewhat crowded or not that beautiful.

    Paradise!!!!
    They say Barahona is the best beach in DR and they couldn’t be more wrong (total disappointment). The beaches in Las Terrenas have beautiful water, soft current, clear water and fine sand. It’s just beautiful! Full of palm trees everywhere to provide enough shade. It’s simply beautiful and worth the drive! Will definitely be back.

    Great beach for walking, eating and drinking, people watching
    There is an area for surfing if the waves cooperate but I mostly enjoy the nice walking path all along this pretty beach and all the beachside restaurants and bars.

    Beautiful, serene, secluded Beach
    We were on a trip to the DR to help build a community center. This was the beach outside our resort. After a hard days work, or early in the morning, it's a great place to learn to surf, do yoga on the beach or just play.

    beautiful views!
    we walked for hours around the beaches and they are just beautiful. There are no chairs at all, and if you happen to find one, they will charge you to seat there.
