Bayahíbe
Bayahíbe is a Caribbean coast village that works as a base for beach time, diving and boats toward Saona Island. The boat excursion takes a different pace from a local beach day.

Keep exploring Dominican Republic with our travel partners.
The fishing-village setting, Bayahíbe Beach and nearby Dominicus Beach give you more than one way to spend time on this shore. Bayahíbe is also an embarkation point for Saona Island, while dive boats head to sites off the coast. Decide first whether your priority is the village, the water or a full excursion.
What to look for
Bayahíbe Beach lies close to the village; Dominicus Beach is farther along the coast.
Boat trips leave the Bayahíbe area for the beaches of Saona Island.
The endemic Bayahíbe rose is a distinctive plant associated with the area.
Useful to know
Set aside a separate day for Saona rather than adding it to a relaxed beach afternoon.
Check current boat and dive arrangements before choosing where to stay along the coast.
