Beautuful Playa Grande is a short, half-mile walk from our hotel.  There is a Dominican restaurant on the beach, El Fugon, which serves local fare, consisting of fresh fish, conch salad, octopus, fried plantains, french fries and salad for very reasonable prices.  They also sell rum, wine and sodas, by the bottle for consumtion there or “to go.”  Playa Grande is only one of the beauutiful beaches here by Luperón.  This area is full of lush vegetation enriched by a changing palette of green and blue, rolling hills and the Atlantic Ocean.
