Publication Update: Here & Beyond Magazine – Adventure on The Coconut Coast, A feature on Punta Cana

I’m pleased to share my feature article on Punta Cana for Here & Beyond Magazine, a travel trade publication.

Titled Adventure on the Coconut Coast, you can read the eight page article in PDF at this link.

The bulk of this piece explores Punta Cana and Bavaro beyond the beach, from caves and cenotes to fine dining and local nightlife. It also includes a sidebar on exciting regions of the Dominican Republic that  you should visit, including Puerto Plata, Samana and Santo Domingo.

I was commissioned this piece while in the thick of my research and travels for Moon Dominican Republic, but miraculously it happened during the one week I had chosen to slow down and catch up on writing.

The photographs are not mine, but the text is — minus the Christopher Columbus reference on page one.

Enjoy the read, and please feel free to share this link.
