Beach overall scores
Playa Hicaco (Dominican Republic) is located outside the Los Guineos 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
"If you're looking for an exciting experience, you absolutely have to visit this beach. The journey to get there is quite adventurous and requires an SUV or off-road vehicle. However, once you arrive, you'll have the entire beach to yourself. We didn't encounter a single soul during our visit. It was simply stunning."
Jochi Härp
"I'm surprised there aren't many reviews of this place. The beach is absolutely stunning and breathtaking. The road to get here isn't great, so having an SUV is definitely recommended. However, the sight of numerous domestic animals along the way added to our overall enjoyment."
