Introducing Las Terrenas

No longer a rustic fishing village, today Las Terrenas is a cosmopolitan town, seemingly as much French and Italian as Dominican. Fashionable-looking European women in designer sunglasses ride their personal ATVs with a bag of baguettes in tow. It’s a balancing act between locals and expats – one that has produced a lively mix of styles and a social scene more vibrant than anywhere else on the peninsula. Either way you walk along the beach road leads you to beachfront scattered with hotels, high palm trees and calm aquamarine waters. Just east of town is Playa Punta Popy, not an especially beautiful beach but a popular spot for kiteboarders and windsurfers.
