Punta Cana, the new Destination of Tourists

Punta Cana, the eastern province of Dominican Republic is attracting many tourists with its wonderful beaches. It has several beaches facing both the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. Once it has attained a status of one of the most favored tourist spot all major airlines in the region such as Air Canada, Air Jamaica started operating flights to Punta Cana. Several other minor airlines are operating cheap flights to Punta Cana. Thus this place is well connected with rest of the world and easily accessible also. Hence, when we decided to go to this place for our holiday trip there was no difficulty in getting plane tickets. After purchasing the airline ticket, we started our packing.

We reached there without much trouble and started our holiday in a good mood. As mentioned earlier, the beaches are the main attraction here and we have decided to spend much of our time in beaches. The beaches here are very active with many facilities for recreation. When the shallow waters favor a safe sea bath the sandy beaches will give you the thrill of playing beach volley. The sunset in the beach is worth seeing. When the sun reaches the western hemisphere and the rays become red, the people starts welcoming the night with music and drum beats. I have seen many foreigners also dancing to the tune of this music. As my wife was a bit shy, she did not join in the welcoming of night. However I participated in it with a few steps.

The beach of Cabeza De Toro and the Bavaro and El Cortecito beaches are the most beautiful beaches and most of the foreigners too prefer either of these beaches to spend his or her time.

Bavaro is the main shopping area here. We spent whole evening in shopping here. You will get anything here from designer wears to handicrafts. The traditional Handicrafts are being sold like hot cakes to the visitors. There are many way side open restaurants too here. It is quite a thrilling experience to have dinner in such open restaurants. There will not be any artificial lights lighted here on full moon day. We too enjoyed one such moon light dinner in one of the open restaurants.

It has recently acquired a prominent place in the tourism map and presently it is one of the most visited places of the region. After the introduction of cheap tickets to Punta Cana by many airlines the number of visitors has increased considerably. With a good number of modern hotels and resort along the beaches, Punta Cana is capable of accommodating this increased number of visitors. Even after six months, the city and the life over there are still live in our memories.
