On the eastern edge of La Romana, overlooking the gorgeous beach, is the old fishing village of Bayahibe located in a small cove at the end of which there is a white sandy beach almost 2 kilometres long. Here divers can find a beautiful coral reef and an impressive marine backdrop with hundreds of fish in all shapes and colours.
Don't miss the spectacular show that is the invasion of multicoloured butterflies that can be seen sporadically at Bayahibe beach, an event that only a privileged few can catch a glimpse of.
