Dust rises like a promise as the buggy engine stutters to life and the coastal plain of Punta Cana spreads out — fields of tall grass, distant palms, and low houses with tin roofs that flash in the sun. Riders strap in, hands smelling faintly of rum from an earlier tasting stop, and the guide nudges the throttle. The buggy surges forward; mud arcs from the tires and the landscape becomes kinetic, a rush through rural lanes that ends at one of the region’s cleanest surf breaks: Playa Macao. Here, the Atlantic dares you to swim away the grime and salt the air.
