Spread over more than 23 miles of white sand beaches and lapped by azure blue seas, is Punta Cana. The first thing you will notice when you land is the airport with a thatched-roof, like something from a storybook; the next is that there is no town at Punta Cana, it is just a resort area. The nearest town is Higuey about an hour away by bus. Other than water-related activities and several golf courses, there's not a lot to do in the immediate area, making this a perfect tropical oasis and relaxing retreat
