Located off the southeastern coast of the Dominican Republic near La Altagracia province, one of the country’s largest islands is Saona. It is part of Cotubanamá National Park, known for its mangroves, coral reefs, and palm-fringed beaches like “La Palmilla.” The island’s shallow waters are home to starfish, and the quaint fishing village of “Manojuan” near Flamingo Lagoon features colorful huts.
