It&rsquo;s much older than Punta Cana — founded 1502, with a Victorian-era waterfront, an active 19th-century rum trade, and the Caribbean&rsquo;s largest deposit of amber. The vibe is more local-Dominican and less tourism-zone-controlled than the east coast. The international airport (POP) is small but functional; flights connect through Miami, Toronto, and a handful of Northeast US hubs. North of the city, Costa Dorada and Sosúa make up the resort strip; further east, the small town of Cabarete is the kiteboarding capital of the Caribbean.</p>https://iwanttotravelto.com/punta-cana-fun-things-to-do/Wed, 06 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://iwanttotravelto.com/punta-cana-fun-things-to-do/<h1 id="things-to-do-in-punta-cana">Things to Do in Punta Cana</h1> <p>Punta Cana is the easternmost tip of the Dominican Republic, where the Atlantic and Caribbean meet at a long arc of coconut palms and powdery white sand. It&rsquo;s a planned tourism zone — Bávaro, Cap Cana, Uvero Alto, Macao — built around 33 miles of beach. Direct flights from most US East Coast hubs land at PUJ (Punta Cana International), often the busiest airport in the Caribbean. The vibe is all-inclusive resort first, but the surrounding region has more layered Dominican character than the marketing suggests.</p>
