Getting There

• Car

  If you're driving from Punta Cana-Bávaro, head west on Av. Estados Unidos toward Av. Barceló. Continue straight on Av. Barceló for approximately 10 kilometers. You will pass several resorts and local shops. Look for signs for Playa Macao. After about 10 kilometers, turn left onto the road leading to Playa Macao. The beach is located approximately 1 kilometer down this road. Be aware that parking may be available near the beach, but check for any parking fees that may apply.

• Public Transportation

  To reach Playa Macao using public transportation, first take a local bus (gua gua) from Punta Cana-Bávaro towards Higuey. You can catch these buses at various points in the area, including the main bus station. The fare is typically around 50 Dominican Pesos (about $1 USD). After approximately 30-40 minutes, you'll arrive at Higuey. From there, transfer to another local bus heading towards Macao. This bus ride will take another 20-30 minutes. Once you arrive in Macao, follow the signs to Playa Macao, which is about a 10-minute walk from the bus stop.

• Taxi

  For a more direct route, you can hire a taxi from Punta Cana-Bávaro to Playa Macao. This option is more expensive, with fares typically ranging from $30 to $50 USD depending on your pickup location and negotiation with the driver. The taxi ride will take approximately 20-30 minutes, and the driver can drop you off right at the beach entrance.
