Isla Saona

Isla Saona is located in the extreme southeast of the Dominican Republic. It is part of the Parque Nacional del Este and is known for its mangroves, coral reefs and palm-fringed beaches, such as La Palmilla. The shallow waters of the island are home to starfish. Mano Juan is a quiet fishing village near the Laguna de los Flamencos, with colorful shacks and a turtle sanctuary. To the west is the Cueva de Cotubanamá, with pre-Columbian rock art.
