Bavaro is an area of Punta Cana, located in La Altagracia province, the easternmost province of the Dominican Republic. Bávaro Beach is located on the east coast of the Dominican Republic. Along with Punta Cana and other nearby beaches, Bávaro Beach forms part of the well-known Coconut Coast, a 60-km stretch of coastline lined with coconut palms and warm waters. Bavaro was originally developed as a town for resort workers together with the resort area and tourist region of Punta Cana. As hotels started to rise along the east coast, north from Punta Cana, Bavaro itself became a center of services.
