The Punta Cana coastline was long used by indigenous Taino fishers; later, colonial maritime routes ran along these shores, shaping small fishing communities that survive today.
Conservation
The reef systems are sensitive—operators promote reef-safe sunscreens and controlled snorkeling to reduce contact with coral; avoid touching and anchoring on the reef.
