Fodor's Expert Review Dos Playa

Arikok National Park and Environs Beach

One of the most photogenic picnic spots on the island, this beach is two coves divided by limestone cliffs. One is treasured by surfers for its rolling waves; the other looks placid but has a current that is far too strong for swimming—you'll have to settle for sunbathing only. The best access is by four-wheel drive, as it's within the boundaries of rugged Arikok National Park, but do not drive on the sand or rocks. You might see locals surfing, but unless you are a pro, don’t try it yourself—the current is dangerously strong. Amenities: none. Best for: walking; solitude.
