    "One of the most peaceful places around!" Safe for families and tourists friendly alike. 🌴🏖️🌊 This location is a semi-private beach. Great for relaxation, socialization & swimming. Snorkel on nearby reef or play in the sand. Local spear fishers are common sight. As well, assortments of natural wildlife. Select vendors walk the beach when it's busy. But this is not somewhere you were be hassled. Busier on the weekend with locals (east end). • Often a place for family cookouts & BBQs • Overall family and tourist friendly Week day popular with cruise tourists (west end). This is a frequented location by local expats. Multiple restaurants, cafe's and bars beachside, with selections of food & beverages to choose. Lounge chairs are owned by local businesses. However walk out/setup anywhere you like... 🌴🏖️🌊

    Historic site close to what I was told was the old governor's house. I think it is better than cofresí

    It was quiet and clean for most of it. Great place to sit, admire nature, chill out in the ocean or even work on a chair on the sand.

    Playa Grande was a bit of a disappointment where we went. The beach had lots of garbage on it, stray animals, and even some of the locals started fist fighting right on the beach near the clubhouse. We left there immediately. It didn’t feel safe or relaxing. We left to a better beach right afterward. People just flocked towards us to rent us seats and shelter and trying to sell us anything from cell phone cases to cheese. Will not be going back.

    This beach is NOT called Playa Grande. Although Costambar have a beautiful beach there is no Playa Grande. The beach called Playa Grande is near Rio San Juan!

🫤 Very dirty beach. The beach itself is nice, but people leave trash and no one cleans it... They are yeah cans nearby but they are empty and people leave bags of trash directly under trees.

👍👍 This is a great locals beach on Costa Dorada in the DR. A short cab ride from the Amber Cove cruise port (~$20 pp round-trip, but the driver stays with you all day to make sure you don't miss the boat!) and never crowded. A couple of loungers and an umbrella set you back $20 and 1L Presidente beers...
