Beach overall scores
Playa Ermitano (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 and the correct question is not how to get to Playa Ermitano, but what mode of transport can be used to get to it, because this part of the coast is inaccessible by land. The beach can only be reached by water and you have to rent a boat to get there.
User reviews
"I absolutely adored this beach. It's like a tropical paradise. To reach here, we boarded a boat from Playa El Valle. The only downside is that you have to wait for the boat operator to decide when to depart, which sometimes takes around an hour or so."

"I decided to embark on a hike from playa la Cana to playa Ermitaño. To begin this adventure, it is necessary to rent a scooter in order to reach the starting point. This alone adds an exciting element to the journey. Once you arrive, you can conveniently park your bike at the beach. The hike commences with a clearly marked path, although it gradually becomes less distinct. H..."
