Relax on the white sandy beach or try some watersports
Juan Dolio is a long narrow resort which follows the coast, stretching for 5km, with many complexes and hotels lining the resort. The palm-lined beach at Juan Dolio is made up of thin stretches of fine sand, with shallow waters protected by the off-shore coral reef, which means the clear turquoise seas have ideal conditions for swimming. Just two roads run along Juan Dolio, a boulevard behind the beach and a main street, so getting around is easy and safe, with most visitors choosing to walk, bike or take motorcycle taxis around the resort. A small commercial centre in Juan Dolio offers shops and services, with local stalls selling beach goods and souvenirs, with the regions'  specialities such as rum, cigars and local amber good buys. Along the beach at Juan Dolio, there are plenty of watersports available, with the coral reef proving a popular place to scuba-dive, and fishing and deep-sea fishing trips on offer.
