The area: Bávaro
Punta Cana's longest beach and its biggest cluster of all-inclusive resorts. Nearby is El Cortecito, the closest thing to a walkable area, with shops, restaurants and bars. The beach faces east, so it gets sargassum (seaweed) in season. Sargassum can wash up in season: ask the hotel what its beach is like that week (we explain it in our sargassum guide).
