Besides the water sports, there is horseback riding right on the beach, canyoning, kayaking, waterfalls, and the famous Playa Grande Golf Course which is only 40 minutes away; it is one of the most beautiful golf courses in the Caribbean, it was designed by the celebrated architect Robert Trent Jones Sr., on an area of more than 15 hectares (370 acres), 10 of the 18 holes are played along the side of the sea cliffs overlooking the ocean.

Much of what Columbus first sighted still remains in a natural, unspoiled condition. One-third of the Dominican Republic's 1,401km (870-mile) coastline is devoted to beaches. Columbus sighted its coral-edged Caribbean coastline on his first voyage to the New World and pronounced: 'There is no more beautiful island in the world.' The first permanent European settlement in the New World was on November 7, 1493, and its ruins still remain near Montecristi in the northeast part of the island. Travel expert Lonely Planet says: 'The white-sand beaches, impressive mountain ranges veined with spectacular rivers and waterfalls, and saltwater lakes teeming with exotic wildlife are just part of the appeal.' Bahia de Arena is a gated community with private beach access for residents & renters only, this means that our beach is very uncrowded. If you are a kite surfer or windsurfer you can be assured this is the best, least crowded launch spot in Cabarete Bay with a perfect tack to the best waves.
Dominican Republic is the most geographically diverse island in the Caribbean from Pico Duarte our ten thousand foot mountain featuring pine trees to the desert of Barahona.
