When I first visited Punta Cana last summer, I have to say that Bavaro Beach did not fully realize the hype, because I felt the constant presence of Icky Brown algae when I tried to enjoy a beautiful dive in one of the most renowned beaches of the Caribbean nature.
While the city claims to let Sargassum flow under control, these methods of daily clearings and barrier installations are not watertight.
Go Dominican journeys also does not seem so sure of these methods, so that a ‘Free activities‘List of things to do to avoid Sargassum.
