La Romana - Casa de Campo - La Minitas Beach

It only takes ten minutes to arrive here by shuttle-bus, but as you can see, the trip is well worth breaking away from the resort area.

La Minitas Beach is pristine in anyone's book. And, if you're staying at nearby Casa de Campo, this is the main beach. It is small, but clean even though you'll find a series of bars and restaurants nearby.

Ask the concierge when the shuttle runs, or you can rent a golf cart and drive yourself. Once there, you'll find a myriad of water sports and fun stuff. Here you'll be able to rent kayaks, windsurf boards, paddleboats, hobies, and if you're in to fishing - that can be arranged, right on the beach.

Look around for the special massage room - and get a massage right on the beach with the surf gently coming ashore.

Then there's the fully staffed La Palapa - or beach hut - designed for kiddos to play supervised games and sports. The staff there will watch your kids while you treat yourself to some fun in the sun.

There's a variety of restaurants around La Minitas Beach. Plan a sunset meal - recommended. Visit other things to do at Casa de Campo.
