In order to find the best possible locations for all of you stylish brides and grooms that are thinking of having a beach wedding in the Dominican Republic, I consulted some of the best travel experts. These experts were actually other couples who had elected to have a beach wedding in the Dominican Republic. After all, who else is better qualified to offer an opinion and tell you how fantastic Dominican Republic beach weddings actually are?
So, according to these beach wedding connoisseurs, some of the best beaches to say, ‘I do,' on are as follows:
-
Punta Cana - Forbes Traveler also rated this as one of the top 25 Sexiest Beaches in the world because of the 20 miles of pristine sand, stunning palm backdrop, and crystal blue ocean.
-
North Coast - Puerto Plata is said to be breathtakingly beautiful with 1.5 miles of pristine coastline and scenery that resembles postcard perfection.
- Dominican Republic East Coast -- Playa Minitas is a secluded private beach that offers a luxurious setting for those who wish to escape from crowds and enjoy a romantic interlude.
- Isla Saona - This island has also been named one of the Caribbean's Dream Beaches by Caribbean Travel & Life Magazine, and is a short day trip from the "mainland".
- Playa Punta Rucia - This area just west of Puerto Plata offers mountain views and silky, white sands. It is a little more secluded than some of the other popular beaches.
- Playa Sosua - This spot is situated in the Puerto Plata area, in a crescent-shaped bay and is extremely popular due to its cliffs and tranquil turquoise waters.
- North East - Playa Rincon is located on the Samana peninsula in in Puerto Plata, and is classed as one of the world's top 10 beaches by Condé Nast Travelerbecause of its isolation, three miles of sand, and mountain at one end. The magic here is that you will have to travel by boat (or a serious 4x4) to this beach by sailing from Las Galeras, which many say adds to its ambiance.
