Hidden Tropical Paradise in Dominican Republic | 77 | Beau and Brandy Sailing
Tropical Paradise in Dominican Republic | 77 | Beau and Brandy Sailing
We finally get to go where the locals go here in Barahona, Dominican Republic. We take a taxi to Playa San Rafael, but our driver made a little shortcut to TROPICAL PARADISE. I hidden little gem near the beach. Here in Playa San Rafael, the river meets the ocean.
We were able to experience our first pebble beach and searched for larimar, a gemstone, that you can only find in the Dominican Republic.
On our way back to the anchorage, we stop at the small larimar museum and pick up a bracelet for Brandy.
We get a weather window to leave Barahona and head to our next anchorage, Boca Chica. Once we arrived into Boca Chica, we were surprised to find out that we were not able to anchor ANYWHERE in Boca Chica. So we had to go to the dock, for the first time since we left the states.
We took advantage of the situation, edited videos, filled up water, did laundry and went to the market. We head out pretty quickly, since docks are really not in our budget. We had a pretty weather window and even though we wanted to stop a couple more places... finally make way for Puerto Rico.
We check out and got our International Despacho for Puerto Rico, and we had to have a drug dog come onboard to finish the check out process. We pushed off the docks and said our goodbyes to the Dominican Republic. And set our sights and compass on Puerto Rico
big love,
beau, brandy, and our salty dog, oona
