Part of Cotubanamá National Park, this small island off the southeastern coast draws day-trippers for its postcard-perfect white sand beaches and shallow, impossibly blue water.
Know before you go
- Book a full-day catamaran or speedboat tour from Bayahibe since the island isn't reachable independently
- Ask if the tour includes a stop at the natural swimming pool en route, a highlight for many visitors
- Bring reef-safe sunscreen and a hat since shade is limited on the beach
