The Dominican Republic (Spanish: República Dominicana) is a country located on the island of Hispaniola in the Greater Antilles archipelago of the Caribbean region. It occupies the eastern five-eighths of the island, which it shares with the Republic of Haiti, making Hispaniola one of only two Caribbean islands, along with Saint Martin, that are shared by two sovereign states. The Dominican Republic is the second-largest nation in the Antilles by area (after Cuba) at 48,671 square kilometers (18,792 sq mi), and third by population with approximately 10.5 million people (2020 est.), of whom approximately 3.3 million live in the metropolitan area of Santo Domingo, the capital city. The official language of the country is Spanish. 
Bavaro Beach
Bavaro Beach
(Dominican Republic) is the main advantage of the tourist area of the same name in
Punta Cana, in the province with the melodious name of La Altagracia. Bavaro is
very close to the international airport in Punta Cana, where most foreign tourists
arrive - they are only 25 km away. This distance has become a single whole, but
far from the decisive reason why Bavaro is so popular with travelers arriving
in the Dominican Republic.
Initially, the Dominican authorities planned that Bavaro would be a city for workers employed in the neighboring resort and tourist Punta Cana. But as hotels began to be built at a rapid pace along the east coast, north of Punta Cana, Bavaro quickly turned into a resort town with all the necessary infrastructure. Already in the 1980s, this resort became one of the most popular holiday destinations in the Dominican Republic, and its comfortable Bavaro beach became the most popular in Punta Cana. By the way, this beach can be monitored online, since webcams are installed in many of its points. You can assess the purity of the water and sand, as well as understand what the weather conditions are on the coast at a given time. It happens that the broadcast slows down a little, then the video demonstration is delayed by 10-15 minutes, no more.
On the north side, the Dominican Republic is washed by the Atlantic Ocean, on the south - by the Caribbean Sea: the resort and Bavaro beach are located on the Atlantic side. The ocean here is gentle: there are waves, but very light, and even in a storm the coastal zone looks like a quiet lagoon. This is because the entire beach line of this resort is separated from the open ocean by a coral reef located 800 meters from the coast. Such a natural protective barrier blocks the entrance of strong currents into the recreation area and does not allow marine predators there. The ocean water is azure and very clear. The depth at the coast is shallow, entry into the water is convenient: gentle and without sharp drops. The bottom is sandy, not a single pebble. The beach strip is also sandy. The sand itself is a beautiful golden-white color, and its structure is so soft that it looks like flour. The sand on this beach in the Dominican Republic has a very interesting property: it hardly heats up in the sun, and even in the most intense heat it is comfortable to walk barefoot on it.
