Take a daytrip to Isla Catalina

This pint-sized desert island – measuring up at just over 9km² – is just a quick boat ride from La Romana’s old harbour. Stretch out on one of the beaches here and you might spot monkeys playing in the mangroves that come right up to the sand. Snorkellers, meanwhile, will be in their element at the island’s offshore reef, which is teeming with fish.
