Cayo Arena(s)

Tucked off the northwestern coast of the Dominican Republic near Punta Rucia, Cayo Arena is a tiny, dreamlike sandbar surrounded by vibrant coral reefs and crystal-clear turquoise waters. Often called “Paradise Island,” this natural wonder offers exceptional snorkeling and a rare sense of seclusion, floating like a jewel in the middle of the ocean. Accessible only by boat, Cayo Arena is a must-see for nature lovers and those seeking an unforgettable escape into the Caribbean’s unspoiled beauty.
