The Punta Cana coast sits on coral-limestone that supported Taíno seasonal use; the modern tourism economy developed here in the 1970s, transforming ranchlands into guided coastal experiences.
Conservation
Riders should avoid trampling dunes and seagrass beds—these areas stabilize the shoreline and support nesting sea turtles; stick to designated paths and follow guide instructions.
