Cabo Rojo

Details
Known for its beautiful white-sand beach, Cabo Rojo gets its name from the area’s bauxite presence and resulting dark rust-colored dirt roads. It remains one of the region’s most popular beaches, winning visitors over with its captivating coastal views. Its turquoise waters are also home to some of the Caribbean Sea’s best-preserved coral reefs, providing a breeding ground for Antillean Manatees and the juvenile hawksbills. Boat rides to Bahía de Las Águilas are available daily from Cabo Rojo.
Cabo Rojo sits on the far southwestern tip of the Dominican Republic, tucked between Jaragua National Park and the Haitian border. The land is a cape, a narrow point of coastline pushing out into the Caribbean Sea, where the soil is stained rusty red from bauxite ore in the hills above the coastline. Hence the name Cabo Rojo, or “Red Cape”! It is one of the most remote and rewarding corners of the Caribbean. A place where you can walk a mile of white sand and not see another soul, snorkel reefs that see almost no traffic, and watch flamingos wade through a brackish lagoon at golden hour.
