Beach & Pool
Seaweed risk: high
Punta Cana is a high exposure region for sargassum, with peak season typically from May to August, though it can occur at any time of year. Resorts actively manage and clean the beaches, and barriers may be used to prevent seaweed from reaching the shore.
Pristine white sand beach with calm, crystal-clear waters, suitable for swimming and snorkeling. It is part of the larger Bahia Principe Bavaro complex.
