Tour of Sanchez and El Limon

Saturday Wilma and Nico took me on a tour across the peninsula to a tourist-free remote beach, Los Corales (named after the abundant coral at the beach). Along the way, we stopped on a hill top looking down on Las Terrenas, went through the edge of the town of Sanchez on the southern coast of the peninsula where the bay begins, stopped for a pit stop at a roadside restaurant, had a great Dominican/Creole meal at the Santi Resaturant in El Limon, and ended up on the beach in Las Terrenas where the “bus” took me in 1987 looking for a private home to stay in (it cost me $2 per day, breakfast included).

You can click on the title of each photo to see it individually or click here to see them as a set. Please let me know if it works better for you with the individual links. It's more time consuming, but one friend said accessing the full set was slow for him. So I'm willing to do it that way if need be.
