Punta Cana beach is often referred to as the coconut coast due to its hundreds of swaying coconut palms scattered along the 30 miles of some of the whitest and finest coral sand beaches in the world.

In Punta Cana, it's all about the beach. The area has become a haven for vacationers who are seeking a beach chair, a Pina Colada and a good read.

Punta Cana is the perfect atmosphere for families, couples or friends who are looking for a resort-style vacation.

The majority of the over 30 resorts in Punta Cana are all-inclusive, allowing for an easygoing vacation with plenty to do. As one of the fastest growing areas in the country, more luxurious and bigger complexes are planned to open in 2006. Beyond new accommodations, a 24-mile long boulevard is being built to easily move vacationers throughout the area.

This resort area is perhaps the DR's most popular vacation destination.

Punta Cana is outlined by a large concentration of all-inclusive resorts, each with their own garden of sun chairs and cabanas. However, despite the number of people who idle the day away here, the beach's size ensures visitors will never feel crowded. Those who don't want to spend their time simply baking in the sun can participate in an array of activities from beach volleyball to parasailing.
