Spot info
- Town: Macao (Punta Cana)
- Water: Sea
- Sports: SurfSUP
- Best wind directions: WWNWNW
A wide, undeveloped beach north of Punta Cana, and the main surf beach on the east coast of the Dominican Republic. Beach-break peaks and a reef at the north end pick up trade-wind swell and winter north-east swells, making it a good place for lessons. The trade wind is usually onshore by midday, so early mornings are cleanest.
