Beach overall scores
Playa Escondida (Dominican Republic) is located outside the La Noria settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.
The beach stretches on the sunny coast, but accessing the beach requires traversing some distance on foot. While driving or cycling are the most convenient options for reaching the start point of trail, these methods may not be feasible for everyone. Alternatively, a taxi can be used to drive directly to the location. Public transportation is another option, but it's important to confirm the correct route with locals beforehand as the bus stop may be located at some distance.
User reviews
"This beach is absolutely stunning, with a natural and unspoiled feel that is hard to come by these days. While it may be a bit tricky to find, the hidden path only adds to the sense of adventure and excitement. And once you arrive, you'll be greeted by gorgeous golden sand that stretches out as far as the eye can see."

"This beach exudes tranquility, with only a handful of individuals basking in the sun in their natural state. However, as the afternoon progresses, the shade becomes scarce, so it's crucial to bring along some sunscreen. If you plan on taking a dip, exercise caution, as there are rocks lurking beneath the surface. Keep your wits about you and swim mindfully."
