Dominican Republic Guide
Around Santo Domingo
Beyond the belt of industrial barrios that encases Santo Domingo are a variety of day-trips within easy striking distance, none of them on a list of top must-dos, but still good diversions. These include the overcrowded resort town of Boca Chica, 10km east of the airport and halfway between Santo Domingo and San Pedro de Macorís and, further along the highway, Juan Dolio, a stretch of beachfront dominated by all-inclusive hotels.
