This place is a hidden gem! The river cascade from the top of the mountains and connects with the Caribbean Sea at the bottom. The beach is too rough to swim but it's great to surf and sunbathe. Best recommendation: Swim in the natural pools. If you are looking for eco-tourism in the Dominican Republic, Playa San Rafael is the place to go!!! Highly recommend it!!

The place is wonderful. You have the river meeting the sea. During its way to the sea, people built some pools the use for refreshing themselves. This was the real story about this place. Of course tourists get curious and now is getting well known by everybody and some small commercial activity are starting. It's still wild as it should be. We had a great time with the Dominican people living there, they cooked for us some fish, and had some beers together. Genuine place and people.

OMG! No words to describe this food.Ask for Diomedes and ask for a CAPITAN Fried Fish!... the best!! my friends asked for more seafood. we all love it all, but hat off for the Captain!!

So if you're in Dominican Republic and decide to make it to Barahona, do visit this place. It's almost a sin not to. It's river and beach are a very interesting place. The smells, colours, nature and life is just amazing. The place is alive and you can feel it!

Si vas por la zona, no dejes de ir a visitar esta playa. La verdad es que es un rio, al que dicen que es el rio más pequeño del mundo...(dicen los del lugar). También le llaman a la zona Playa de los Patos. Personalmente recomiendo hospedarse en alguno de los hostales de la zona al menos un tres o cuatro dias para ver mas tranquilo toda esa parte de Republica Dominicana.

En Barahona provincia de Republica Dominicana, en la Carretera que lleva a la Comunidad de Enriquillo, encontraras la playa de San Rafael, de un azul turquesa hermoso. Podras disfrutar ademas del bano en el mar, de un bano en el rio que desemboca justo en la playa. Es un rio de aguas cristalinas que baja desde las montanas y con una temperatura fresca que aplaca el gran calor del verano. El lugar te ofrece parqueo para tu vehiculo y los habitantes te ofrecen Sillas y mesas bajo los arboles. Puedes ordenar tu comida, recomendado el pescado, acompanado de Moro de Habichuelas, o de platanos fritos. Tambien puedes ordenar tus bebidas, incluyendo refrescos para los ninos. La Playa tiene la particularidad de que en vez de arena, tiene pequenas piedras.
