What is Playa Preciosa?
Playa Preciosa couldn't have a more fitting name. This north coast beach just kilometers from Río San Juan combines fine golden sand with Atlantic waves of perfect energy for surfing and bodyboarding, surrounded by vegetation-covered cliffs dropping directly to the sea. The combination of its Atlantic power, scenic beauty, and almost total absence of tourist infrastructure make it one of the most authentic and photogenic destinations on the entire north coast.

History
Playa Preciosa was for decades practically unknown outside Río San Juan's local community. Surfers exploring the north coast in the late 1990s cataloged it as one of the Dominican Republic's best spots. Its popular name comes from the instinctive reaction it generates in those who see it for the first time: simply precious.
