Playa San Rafael

Playa San Rafael pairs a stony Caribbean shore with cold river water descending from the mountains. The contrast is the point of this Barahona stop.

Why go

The tourism authority describes a waterfall and river meeting a stone beach, a combination unlike the soft sand of Punta Cana. Watch the freshwater enter the sea and notice the mountain backdrop before deciding where to sit or swim. Shoes suited to stones will make the shore more comfortable.

What to look for

  • Cold river water reaching the coast
  • A stone beach below green slopes

Useful to know

  • Bring footwear suited to a stony shore.
