Beach & Pool
Seaweed risk: high
Punta Cana's east-facing beaches, including Uvero Alto, receive frequent sargassum from Atlantic currents during peak season (typically February-August, with highest concentrations in June, July, August). Resorts often employ daily cleanup crews and use floating barriers. Sargassum is generally less prevalent in winter (November-April), with October-December offering the lowest likelihood.
Beautiful white-sand beach with pristine waters in the Uvero Alto-Macao region, featuring a 400-meter virgin beach.
