Punta Cana

Dominican Republic
Someday we will visit Punta Cana or begin to dream about going there! However, for now its not on our radar. Let us know in the comments if you think that should change!

Punta Cana

Punta Cana is the name of a town and tourist region at the easternmost tip of the Dominican Republic. The region, covering about 420,000m², is home to a coastline of sandy white beaches.

Punta Cana is a tourist destination, and the area is a key contributor to tourism in the Dominican Republic.

The Punta Cana area has an estimated population of 50,000, with an annual growth rate of 6% as of 2009. To the north, it borders the village and beach of Cabeza de Toro, and the Bávaro and El Cortecito beaches. The nearest city, the 500-year-old Higüey, is 45 kilometres (28 mi) away, which takes about an hour to reach by car. European entrepreneurs, particularly Spanish hotel chains, own all but two of the over 50 megaresorts at the Punta Cana tourism destination.
