Description

Off the southeast coast of La Altagracia Province is the island of Saona. Looking like a desert island with its beautiful secluded beaches and palm trees, the island is a popular destination and sees boats of tourists arrive on its shores to experience its white sand beaches. The waters here are incredible shades of azul-green and sandbars are easily reachable in the warm water. The sea is teeming with natural life of tropical fish and star fish, and tropical birds perch in the palms of the island. Christopher Columbus first found the island on his way to the Americas in 1494, and was named after the Italian city of Savona. If you are looking for a secluded getaway, look no further.
