Punta Cana Dominican Republic 〉Punta Cana Beaches 〉Playa Blanca Beach
A little history… dating back to the early 1970s, this breathtaking beach stretch was called Punta Borrachón (Drunkard’s Point), developed by Frank Rainieri. This beach is also known as Playa Punta Cana. The name Punta Cana began as a company brand name which over the past decades became the name of the east coast of the Dominican Republic. When you stay at one of the resorts on this beach you are visiting the official “Punta Cana”.
It’s no wonder this beach was chosen as the starting place of what today is, one of the most beloved Caribbean destinations, boasting sparkling white sand, turquoise jeweled tones clear as glass, perfectly landscaped with palm trees tirelessly dancing to the sea breeze against a blue sky.
