Bahia de las Aguilas

Bahia de las Aguilas on the southwestern coast of the Dominican Republic.Bahia_de_las_Aguilas_cp - Bahia de las Aguilas Bahia De Las Aguilas (Bay of the Eagles) is one of the most beautiful and most isolated beaches in the Caribbean. It is near the southern end of the border between the Dominican Republic and Haiti, a few kilometers southeast from the town of Pedernales (Dominican Republic) | Pedernales, or 320 kilometers from Santo Domingo.

Unlike most beaches in the Dominican Republic that have experienced an explosion of tourism, Bahia De Las Aguilas is completely isolated and has no construction near it. The bay is also considered part of the Jaragua National Park and its waters contain an abundance of wildlife, from a wide variety of fish to star fish and Caribbean lobsters. Fishing is illegal within the national park but is done on a small scale by the local residents (hence the abundance of sea life). The nearest town is Perdenales and there are a couple of small motels that are generally used by truckers. It is recommended that visitors making the 6-8 hour trip from the capital Santo Domingo, stay in the town of Barahona. From Barahona visiting Bahia De Las Aguilas can be done in a day. It is not tourism-oriented as are other Dominican Republic sites: there are no luxury hotels and you'll have to get to the beach either by boat, or with an all-wheel-drive vehicle through the National Park (either way it's a 15-20 minutes ride). There are signs stating that you can't camp, but nevertheless, you can rent the tents or bring your own.
