This Untouched Beach Was Just Named Best in the Caribbean-and It has Crystal-clear Waters, Zero Crowds, and Calm Waters
Briefly

Canto de la Playa, located on Saona Island in the Dominican Republic, has been named the No. 1 beach in the Caribbean by The World's 50 Best Beaches. Known for its soft white sand, lush palm trees, and clear turquoise waters, the beach is remote and accessible via a 50-minute bus ride followed by a boat trip. It is part of Cotubanamá National Park, providing visitors a tranquil escape free from commercial activity, ideal for swimming and snorkeling among vibrant coral reefs.
"While the entire island of Saona boasts fantastic beaches, Canto de la Playa stands out for its lush tropical greenery and absence of commercial activity. Untouched and pristine, it offers a peaceful escape where visitors can swim in calm waters and explore vibrant coral reefs just offshore."
"The sand is noticeably soft, and many claim the water is among the clearest and most turquoise in the Caribbean."
