Retire In Rio San Juan Dominican Republic - Retire In Caribbean - Playa Grande

Rio San Juan and the Playa Grande is the next stop on our http://DRescapes.com tour of favorite towns to retire on the North Coast of the Dominican Republic. This area of the North Coast (Rio San Juan and Cabrera) is a favorite with retiring Americans, Canadians and Europeans. Our favorite little village, Cabrera, is only 13 miles from Rio San Juan and either town would be a good choice for nice, peaceful home away from home.

The expats that have moved to this area of the North Coast always brag about: low cost of living, million dollar views at bargain prices, freshest organic foods and seafood straight off the boat, friendly locals and expats and a beach town without all the tourist congestion.

Rio San Juan has several things going for it, including two famous attractions that are unique in the Dominican Republic. First is Laguna GriGri which is a natural lagoon. You can take a small boat through the mangroves at Laguna Gri Gri and make your way to the mouth of the inlet and straight out into the calm seas. A very nice little trip.

The other thing that is unique is the nearby Playa Grande beach and resort complex. Playa Grande beach is a stunning crescent shaped white sand beach that has been a long time favorite of tourists, locals and expats alike. Sitting right next door, overlooking Playa Grande beach is the very high end Playa Grande resort development and the Amanara resort. Latest word is that the developers will be investing over a billion dollars in the Playa Grande resort build out.

With all the development in the area, smart investors and retirees are taking a close look at both Rio San Juan and nearby Cabrera. If ever there was a case for location, location, location.... then one can be made for this area of the North Coast. Come check it out for yourself on one of our Discovery Tours. No substitute for planting your own toes in the sand and talking to other expats that made the move before you.
