Macao Beach

Playa Macao Dominican Republic

Macao is the wild, public beach locals favour, with golden sand, genuine waves and a rugged, undeveloped feel. Surfers love the breaks and everyone else loves the fresh fish shacks and the absence of resort walls.

It is open to all, with local surf schools and simple beachside eateries but no resort polish.

Local tip: Go with a reputable surf school if you fancy a first lesson in the breaks.
