La Romana has become one of the Dominican Republic's most popular tourist destinations due to its sandy beaches, turquoise waters and lively metropolitan area. Snorkelers and divers will find colorful fluorescent fish at the beaches of Bayahibe and Dominicus, while excursions to the nearby islands of Saona and Catalina promise opportunities to see coral reef and sunken barges. Walk along the cobblestone streets of Altos De Chavon to find an alluring array of art galleries, shops, restaurants, bars, and a large outdoor amphitheater, or take a hike to the National Park of the East to enjoy the beauties of the Mother Nature. For further entertainment, play on world-class championship golf courses, explore the archaeological museum, or return to the beach to play in the waves and relax under swaying palms.
