Beach overall scores
Playa Lanza del Norte (Dominican Republic) is located outside the El Limon 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
"Playa Lanza del Norte is a secluded beach located after El Limon. To reach the beach, you have to drive on some sandy roads for approximately 5km and then walk for about 10 minutes. The road to the beach is hidden, so it's recommended to ask for directions several times. However, once you arrive, you'll be rewarded with a beautiful and private beach experience."

"If you're looking for a beach that's as untouched as a newborn baby's bottom, then feast your eyes on Virgin Beach. This stretch of coastline is so vast that you'll be lucky to spot a handful of people. And if you're a fan of surfing, you might just catch some gnarly waves. But the real showstopper is the sunset - it's so breathtaking that you'll wonder if the sky is showing..."
