Things to Do in Punta Cana

Punta Cana is the easternmost tip of the Dominican Republic, where the Atlantic and Caribbean meet at a long arc of coconut palms and powdery white sand. It’s a planned tourism zone — Bávaro, Cap Cana, Uvero Alto, Macao — built around 33 miles of beach. Direct flights from most US East Coast hubs land at PUJ (Punta Cana International), often the busiest airport in the Caribbean. The vibe is all-inclusive resort first, but the surrounding region has more layered Dominican character than the marketing suggests.
