Las Galeras
A
horseshoe-shaped beach cove sheltering a modest village at the far eastern
end of the peninsula, LAS GALERAS has seen considerable changes over the
last few years. Despite the construction of Casa Marina Bay , a large
all-inclusive, and numerous other hotels near the main beach entrance,
it still maintains a peaceful, timeless ambience. The solitude that Las
Galeras was once famous for has now gone but it's been replaced with some
tasteful amenities that should make most visitors' stays more comfortable.
The beaches, however, are still as stunning as always.
There
are plenty of eating options scattered along the main road on the way
into town and also a good selection of restaurants in the main hotels.
Chez Denise Calle Las Galeras. Traditional French food and creperie on
a terrace near the beach.
Dominican Kitchen beach entrance. Not so much a restaurant as a collection
of shacks serving excellent seafood dishes. Prices can vary for tourists
so check before ordering.
L'adventure Calle Las Galeras. French-run pizza joint with good-value
specials.
