Sharks in Punta Cana

by Kathy
(Alberta, Canada)

Hi, we are going to Gran Bahia Principe Bavaro resort, Punta Cana on Sunday Jan 24/2010. Are there sharks? I thought I had read somewhere that this area has a natural reef around it and that it prevented sharks from coming in.

Answer:

Hello Kathy,

Don't worry about the sharks. The ones that you will probably see are nurse sharks if you go to the marinarium excursions for diving or snorkeling.

As a general precaution don't swim at the beach during the night.

Hi, don't worry about sharks in the water. Sharks normally do not like warm waters and the waters in Punta Cana are warm. Enjoy and have a great trip!
