I don’t want to leave this place. We are on the terrace, reading, while the sun goes to sleep at the bottom of the ocean.
Today we’ve been to the Playa Grande, at about 10 kilometers North from here. It’s easy to get there on a gua-gua from Rio San Juan. We passed by a golf course.
The beach is beautiful; the dunes formed by the wind gave the impression to be in the desert. And the waves were so strong they took off your swimming suit and earrings. There were very few locals at the beach. It seemed more like a place for tourists or rich people, there’s a sunbeds and umbrellas rental service, and a nice swimming pool right behind the beach, surrounded by gazebo where those with money can go get changed or relax in the shade.
An amazing beach, but maybe too luxurious for us. There are some stalls selling food and drinks, but too expensive, considering you are in the Dominican Republic.
Playa Grande in Rio San Juan
At the end of our day at the beach a dog came closer, looking for cuddles. I can’t stand seeing these poor stray dogs with sweet and sad eyes because they suffer cruelties from humans and other dogs. That look at you with tenderness and just want some love. They are not treated too well dogs in this country.
Io non me ne vado più da qua. Siamo sul terrazzo a leggere, mentre il sole va a dormire in fondo al mare.
Oggi siamo stati alla Playa Grande, una decina di chilometri a nord. E’ molto facile arrivarci in gua-gua da Rio San Juan.
Molto bella; le dune formate dal vento davano l’impressione di stare nel deserto. E c’erano delle onde alte e forti che ti portavano via costume ed orecchini. Poca gente del posto in spiaggia. E’ una cosa un po’ di lusso, con un servizio lettini e ombrelloni, una piscinetta appena dietro alla spiaggia, circondata da gazebo dove chi ha soldi può andare a cambiarsi o rilassarsi all’ombra.
Una spiaggia bellissima, ma troppo d’elite forse per noi. Ci sono dei chioschetti dove prendere da mangiare e bere, ma con prezzi alti rispetto alla Repubblica Dominicana.
