Bayahibe, Dominican Republic

Located on the Caribbean coast in the south-west of the Dominican Republic, Bayahibe is certainly one of the most charming fishing villages in the country. Chartered speedboats are offered by tour operators on the adjacent beach where there is a guitar player, who sings you a few Bachata or Merengue tunes. That is Bayahibe in a nutshell, a small jewel that has kept its authenticity, while living off the fruits of tourism. It is difficult to talk holidaymakers into visiting this unpretentious place, because it deserves to be visited as it is, raw and untarnished. Yet it would be a shame to flick past this small paradise in the Dominican Republic, with its magnificent bay and turquoise blue sea.
