Dominican Republic

To a lot of travelers, booking a trip to the DR means never leaving their all-inclusive resort in Punta Cana. But a trip to the Dominican Republic will look a little bit different for surfers (and soon-to-be surfers who want to learn). For travelers who are adventurous at heart, this is the perfect place to book a surf camp. 

It’s easy to see the entire coast of this small Caribbean island country in a week or two, and it’s even easier to surf the waves as long as you stay up north.
