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. Just remember, you may share this beach with another cruise ship or two, so expect crowds. If you're staying at Casa de Campo, ask the concierge to check the port when the cruise ships will be in town and make sure you go on a day when they are not there. Bring the camera - pictures of La Minitas Beach will be treasured in your scrapbook for years to come. People will ask about the color of the sand and the water. And of course, your tan.

La Minitas Beach is pristine in anyone's book. And, if you're staying at nearby Casa de Campo, this is a bigger beach than the man-made one in the resort. It is small, but clean even though you'll find a series of bars and restaurants nearby. Make sure to take along a little spending money and plenty of sun screen.

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. The craziness that is La Romana will be massaged right out of you. But remember that you can enjoy the day here and take a short hop to downtown La Romana and enjoy a cup of coffee with the bread from any of a number of bakeries. Card playing, dominoes, and chess make up just a little of the nightlife in La Romana. Of course with the Dominican Republic being famous for cigars, you'll probably smell one or two before you leave this paradise in the Caribbean. Make sure to buy a few if you know a friend who enjoys them, but remember to get local help. Cigar stores are notorious for selling you something that may not be the real deal.

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.
