Playa Bonita is the quieter beach immediately west of Las Terrenas, reached by a short road over the headland. It is a line of small hotels and houses directly behind the sand, with surf at the western end and almost no through traffic. The last stretch is paved but narrow, with speed bumps. Landmarks guests usually name here: Playa Bonita, the surf breaks, small beachfront hotels.
