"Remote and difficult to access, this three-mile beach on the Dominican Republic’s southwestern Caribbean coast (15 miles from Pedernales and close to the Haitian border) is also blissfully uncrowded. Playa Bahia de las Águilas, which translates to "Bay of Eagles," can only be reached via a four-wheel-drive vehicle on an unpaved road, or a 15-minute speedboat ride from the little village of La Cueva at Cabo Rojo. Once there, however, you’ll discover a pristine beach, bordered by rocky cliffs and free of any hotels or restaurants—the beach is located in the Jaragua-Bahoruco-Enriquillo Biosphere Reserve, so building is forbidden. Turquoise water laps the white sand, while well-preserved coral reefs wait just offshore. Don your mask and snorkel to see starfish, sand dollars, and maybe even a manatee. Also remember to bring water and sunscreen as there’s virtually no shade, and pack lunch or plan to eat in nearby La Cueva."

Off the tourist trail but not for long. They are currently building 3 all inclusive (large) hotels. To get to the beach you will need a 4x4 vehicle as there are 2 sharp inclines up over the hills. You can walk it but it’s several km’s. You can park at a nearby beach (rocky shore) and take a loach boat. The guys are waiting to take you. If you go scuba diving they also take you to the beach!! Much less garbage here. No major waves. Fine sand. You can use your drone but you’re limited by height. Just absolutely incredible. Loved our time here!

Tucked away in the southwestern corner of the Dominican Republic, Bahía de las Águilas isn’t just a beach—it’s a dream pulled straight from the pages of a tropical fairytale. From the moment I set foot on its powder-white sand, I was overwhelmed by its sheer beauty and serenity. The beach stretches for miles, untouched and untamed, kissed by the clearest aquamarine water I've ever seen. There are no crowds, no blaring music—just the sound of gentle waves and the occasional call of a seabird soaring overhead. It felt like nature’s secret, shared only with those curious enough to seek it out. What truly sets Bahía de las Águilas apart is its wild, otherworldly sense of solitude. Surrounded by desolate beauty of Jaragua National Park, the area is a sanctuary—for sea turtles, for delicate coral reefs, and for those of us who crave a moment of stillness far from the noise of modern life. Swimming here was like floating in liquid glass, and snorkeling just offshore revealed flashes of vibrant marine life. As the sun began its descent, the entire beach glowed gold and tangerine, the sky a masterpiece of fading colors. That moment—barefoot, sun-kissed, and awe-struck—will live in my heart forever. Bahía de las Águilas is not just a destination. It’s a reminder that paradise still exists—wild, quiet, and breathtakingly pure.

Bay of the Eagles Beach. The cliffs have eagle caves. You can't see the caves from the beach. Easiest way to get to the beach is by boat. We drove in. Recommend four wheel drive. You see a lot more driving in. Pristine beach. No services. Bring everything in you may need. Wind is strong, tents won't stay up. Use tarp style, if any. They boat cruise ship people there and they have chairs and canopies.

I can't give 5 star for these reasons. The trip to get here either 4x4 or by Yola's (boat) make it a fun to get to the location. The beach is gorgeous, the water even better. BUT, the yola captains are idiots, even the Armada. They go full speed far closer to the beach than I swim in only 2m water, all along the shore making swimming dangerous above waist deep water. No regard for the safty of the people they taxi here. Im dumbfounded by that ignorance. I could not snorkle at all as thay were always between me and shore and too busy looking at bikinis than watching for swimmers.

It’s an incredible place. Being surrounded by this beauty was well worth the drive to make it all the way here.

I've been to many beaches around the world, but Bahia de las Aguilas stands out as the most beautiful by far. This stunning beach in the Dominican Republic is truly a slice of paradise. From the moment I arrived, I was struck by the breathtaking scenery. The beach stretches for miles with pristine white sand and crystal-clear turquoise waters that seem almost surreal. The natural beauty of Bahia de las Aguilas is untouched by commercial development, which preserves its tranquility and purity. It's one of those rare places where you can truly feel at one with nature. The peace I experienced there was unlike anything I've ever felt. It was as if time slowed down, allowing me to fully soak in the sun, the sea, and the sheer beauty of the surroundings. It's no wonder I count it as one of the happiest days of my life—being there felt like a dream come true. What makes Bahia de las Aguilas even more special is its relative seclusion, which keeps it free from the typical crowds found at other tourist-heavy beaches. You have plenty of space to explore, relax, and even find your own little spot to unwind without any interruptions. If you're planning a trip to the Dominican Republic and looking for a truly spectacular beach experience, Bahia de las Aguilas is not to be missed. It's perfect for anyone seeking a peaceful escape and a chance to experience one of the most beautiful natural settings on the planet. Prepare to be captivated by its beauty and leave with memories that will last a lifetime.
