Playa Grande (Río San Juan)
Río San Juan, Dominican Republic19.397° -69.926°
Levels 3-7Typical size: 3–10 ft
One of the DR's most powerful and picture-perfect beach breaks, near Río San Juan about an hour east of Cabarete — a long stretch of golden sand backed by cliffs that turns on with heavy, hollow peaks when the winter north swell fills in. A clear step up from Encuentro in power and consequence.
