Things to see and do La Romana

Playa El Caletón is the popular beach of the Romanenses, but it is far from having the charm of the other beaches of the region. It is said to be inadvisable to venture out there after dark. During the day, however, its sandbanks are crowded with tourists and strollers. The beach restaurants specializing in seafood and fish are numerous. A stopover to consider if you are passing through La Romana for a long time. If however you intend to visit other beaches around, you can save this one.

The Romana central park is an open-air museum, the largest Dominican baseball players have their own nature. Most of these players officiate in the American league and are followed by a whole people. Like all parks in the country's city centres, it is the nerve centre of social life. Everyone meets in the evening, the food and drink stalls are packed in a tight row, the motorcycles are waiting for the customer, in short, everyone spends at least once a day.

Facing the Juan Pablo Duarte Park, this modest church is dedicated to the patron saint of the city, Santa Rosa de Lima (celebrated in August), also patron saint of Peru, the New World and the Philippines. The first building was erected in 1914 and was then a simple hermitage, managed by the priest J.W. Connor. It was not until 1940 that it was enlarged and elevated to a church. It has a pleasant garden.

Sit back and relax in complete safety at a depth of 1.80 m aboard a semi-submersible vessel, a comfortable, air-conditioned underwater observatory. This vessel, which resembles a real submarine, does not descend below the surface, but offers an unforgettable spectacle. A breathtaking view of the local aquatic world, the fauna and flora of the famous "La Pared" (coral reef) and Catalina Island. You'll also discover the wreck of Captain Kidd's famous pirate galleon 'Cara Merchant', sunk in 1699, with its many cannons and anchors...
