Punta Cana: you'll go nuts for the Coconut Coast
Like willowy supermodels on a white sandy runway, the palm trees on Punta Cana's dreamy beaches—hence the locale's nickname, "the Coconut Coast of the Dominican Republic"—are just begging to be photographed and shared on your social media feed. But make it a quick photo shoot, because there are lots of adrenalin-pumping things to do underwater, on land, and even high up in the air (helicopter tour, anyone?). At the end of the day, kick back in your Punta Cana vacation rental and make yourself a cuba libre or two.
Things to do
Altos de Chavon—art, altitude, and a Roman amphitheater
About an hour's drive from Punta Cana vacation rentals lies Altos de Chavon, an artists' village designed to look like a medieval Mediterranean town. This popular attraction is in the city of La Romana, where it sits on a cliff high above the Chavon River. Swing by the archaeological museum, peep inside the galleries and artists' studios, and play some air guitar at the Roman-style amphitheater as you imagine how it must have felt to be one of the huge musical acts who have performed there (Frank Sinatra and Pet Shop Boys, to name a couple).
Activities
Airborne action and undersea undertakings in Punta Cana
There's the standard menu of water activities such as fishing, snorkeling, and scuba diving, but why settle for the usual aquatic adventures when you can don a special diving helmet and go for a stroll at the bottom of the ocean. Or take to the skies in a helicopter for unbeatable views of Punta Cana? Head to the adventure parks for zip lines and horseback rides, or choose from the many eco tours available—there's even a spa excursion, where you'll be pampered with massages while lying on a floating mattress in a natural pool.
Weather
That's just typically tropical of Punta Cana
Punta Cana has the two seasons that are typical of tropical destinations: wet and dry. The dry season lasts from December to May. June to November are the wet months; if you're visiting during this period, don't forget your umbrella and brace yourself for some very humid days. That said, temperatures remain steady and warm all year long, falling between 77 and 82 degrees. Punta Cana vacation rentals tend to have lower price tags during the wet season, but do note that this is also hurricane season, so the golf courses and beaches may be no-go spots.
Natural features
Punta Cana's dive forecast: corals with a chance of manatees
Make room in your itinerary for the Parque Nacional del Este (East National Park), home to some 300 bird species and over 500 kinds of flowers. Saona Island, also part of the park, is a slice of paradise—its stunning beaches, with their palm trees and powdery white sand, belong on a postcard or a magazine cover. Scan the sand bars for starfish, hop on a catamaran and keep your eyes peeled for dolphins leaping and playing alongside your boat, or scuba dive in the coral reefs and make friends with some manatees.
