Best beach clubs in Punta Cana, Eden Roc Cap Cana — *Eden Roc Cap Cana Beach Club*

Punta Cana has some beautiful beaches, but they can be challenging to get to if you’re not staying at one of the beachfront hotels. There isn’t much beachfront dining outside of the all-inclusives that line the beach. One way to enjoy the atmosphere that Punta Cana has to offer and soak up the waterfront is via the beach clubs. We spent 3 months in Punta Cana hunting down the best beach clubs, food and drinks, and we’ve pulled together our top picks below.

One thing to be aware of while planning your trip is that many of the beach clubs are within a gated community, which may cost to enter, and also requires ID upon entry. If you are staying within the gated community where the beach club is located you won’t have to worry about payment/ID’s.

Cana Bay Beach club punta cana — *Cana Bay Beach Club*

6. Cana Bay Beach Club

This beach club is located near the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Punta Cana. Cana Bay has a great beach with pristine water and fine white sand, a beachfront infinity pool, and offers cabanas and loungers at no extra cost.

This is probably one of the best beach clubs in terms of the quality of the beach, with crystal-clear water, nice waves and miles of pristine sand. However, we did find the food and service was pretty consistently average for the price.

If you can look past the food and service, then this is a very reasonably priced entrance fee ($25USD per person)for access to a great beach, pool and loungers.

Must try: Skip the food here and opt for an aperol spritz instead.
