The area has beaches and balnearios which face both the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, and it has been a popular tourist destination. The weather is very hot and humid, especially in late summer and autumn when the Northern Tropics receive their most direct sunlight. Geography and climateThe Punta Cana area has an estimated population of 50,000, with an annual growth rate of 6%.[3] To the north, it borders the village and beach of Cabeza de Toro, and the Bávaro and El Cortecito beaches. The nearest city, the 500-year-old Higüey, is {{convert|45|km|mi}} away, which takes about an hour to reach by car. European entrepreneurs, particularly Spanish hotel chains, own all but two of the over 50 megaresorts at the Punta Cana tourism destination. The province’s {{convert|100|km|mi|adj = on}} coastline tends to be mildly windy. The ocean waters are mainly shallows, with several natural marine pools in which visitors can bathe without danger. From north to south, the main beaches are Uvero Alto, Macao, Arena Gorda, Bávaro, El Cortecito, Las Corales, and Cabeza de Toro, all north of the cape; and Cabo Engaño, Punta Cana, and Juanillo south of the cape. Bávaro is the area starting from Cabeza de Toro until Macao Beach. As the hotels started to rise along the east coast, Bavaro itself became a center of services with shopping malls, fast-food stores, drug stores, fine restaurants, banks, clinics, workshops, supermarkets, and schools. The major town in the district is Veron, now bigger than Higüey in territory, a spontaneous – and poor – urban development running along the original road from the west. Verón, last name of the French proprietor of a timberline business in the early 1930s, is now the base-city for hotel workers and related. It has, besides Bávaro, one of only four gas stations in Punta Cana: the next one is located {{convert|48|km|mi}} west in Higüey, at the Fruisa crossroads; a new Texaco gas station opened in April 2010, {{convert|3|km|mi}} south of Macao beach; and the new Shell gas station close to the airport (on the highway Coral) opened at the end of 2010. ClimatePunta Cana features a tropical wet and dry climate under the Köppen climate classification. The weather is fairly consistent all year, with an average temperature of {{convert|26|°C|°F}}. The hot and humid season lasts from May to October, and during the day temperatures might reach {{convert|35|°C|°F}}. From November to March, temperatures during the evening are around {{convert|20|°C|°F}}. {{Weather box | location = Punta Cana | metric first = y | single line = y | Jan record high C = 31.0 | Feb record high C = 30.7 | Mar record high C = 31.2 | Apr record high C = 32.0 | May record high C = 33.9 | Jun record high C = 34.4 | Jul record high C = 34.7 | Aug record high C = 34.5 | Sep record high C = 34.6 | Oct record high C = 33.7 | Nov record high C = 32.7 | Dec record high C = 32.5 | year record high C = 34.7 | Jan high C = 27.7 | Feb high C = 27.6 | Mar high C = 28.1 | Apr high C = 28.7 | May high C = 29.6 | Jun high C = 30.3 | Jul high C = 30.5 | Aug high C = 30.7 | Sep high C = 30.9 | Oct high C = 30.5 | Nov high C = 29.4 | Dec high C = 28.1 | year high C = 29.3 | Jan mean C = 24.8 | Feb mean C = 24.7 | Mar mean C = 25.0 | Apr mean C = 25.5 | May mean C = 26.4 | Jun mean C = 27.2 | Jul mean C = 27.5 | Aug mean C = 27.7 | Sep mean C = 27.6 | Oct mean C = 27.0 | Nov mean C = 26.3 | Dec mean C = 25.2 | year mean C = 26.2 | Jan low C = 21.9 | Feb low C = 21.8 | Mar low C = 22.0 | Apr low C = 22.5 | May low C = 23.2 | Jun low C = 24.1 | Jul low C = 24.6 | Aug low C = 24.8 | Sep low C = 24.4 | Oct low C = 23.6 | Nov low C = 23.2 | Dec low C = 22.3 | year low C = 23.2 | Jan record low C = 16.0 | Feb record low C = 14.0 | Mar record low C = 14.8 | Apr record low C = 15.2 | May record low C = 16.0 | Jun record low C = 14.9 | Jul record low C = 19.0 | Aug record low C = 17.9 | Sep record low C = 15.0 | Oct record low C = 15.0 | Nov record low C = 15.9 | Dec record low C = 14.0 | year record low C = 14.0 | Jan rain mm = 66.4 | Feb rain mm = 54.2 | Mar rain mm = 54.2 | Apr rain mm = 69.2 | May rain mm = 124.4 | Jun rain mm = 103.9 | Jul rain mm = 78.3 | Aug rain mm = 103.1 | Sep rain mm = 101.7 | Oct rain mm = 152.1 | Nov rain mm = 116.6 | Dec rain mm = 78.5 | year rain mm = 1102.6 | unit rain days = 0.1 mm | Jan rain days = 10.0 | Feb rain days = 6.8 | Mar rain days = 6.7 | Apr rain days = 6.6 | May rain days = 10.1 | Jun rain days = 9.2 | Jul rain days = 9.1 | Aug rain days = 10.0 | Sep rain days = 10.4 | Oct rain days = 11.4 | Nov rain days = 11.5 | Dec rain days = 11.0 | year rain days = 112.8 | Jan humidity = 82.8 | Feb humidity = 81.4 | Mar humidity = 81.2 | Apr humidity = 82.1 | May humidity = 83.0 | Jun humidity = 82.2 | Jul humidity = 82.3 | Aug humidity = 82.6 | Sep humidity = 82.5 | Oct humidity = 83.0 | Nov humidity = 82.2 | Dec humidity = 83.2 | year humidity = 82.4 | Jan sun = 256.9 | Feb sun = 241.9 | Mar sun = 278.8 | Apr sun = 265.0 | May sun = 249.7 | Jun sun = 255.1 | Jul sun = 268.3 | Aug sun = 271.2 | Sep sun = 245.2 | Oct sun = 242.7 | Nov sun = 238.3 | Dec sun = 233.2 | year sun = 3046.3 | source 1 = World Meteorological Organization[4] | source 2 = NOAA[5] | date = March 2011 }} Activities and landmarksPunta Cana is a popular tourist destination.[6] The area is a key contributor to tourism in the Dominican Republic. Many of the popular excursions in Punta Cana are near the water, it being a beach destination. These activities include snorkeling, windsurfing, banana boat rides, speedboats, scuba diving, catamaran cruises, party boats, deep sea fishing, as well as swimming with dolphins and sharks and stingrays snorkeling. Visitors that prefer to see more of the Dominican country side, there are land based excursions such as safari tours, horse back riding and dune buggy. The land based excursions offer some of the most beautiful views that Punta Cana has to offer. Visiting the Dominican Republic's smaller Caribbean islands of Saona and Catalina is a day trip from Punta Cana. The capital city Santo Domingo, and Los Haitises National Park, Samaná, are within a couple of hours. The Basilica Catholic Monument, built in 1962 and designed by two French architects, is in nearby Higüey, the 500-year-old capital of the Province. InfrastructureThe electricity is powered by Consorcio Energetico Punta Cana Macao (CEPM), a wind and solar energy producer led by US-based Argentine businessman Rolando Gonzalez-Bunster.[7] TourismTransportationThe Punta Cana International Airport is the primary airport. In 2014, Punta Cana received over 2.4 million passengers, making it the second busiest airport in the Caribbean.[8] Grupo Puntacana built the Punta Cana International Airport in 1984 to facilitate tourism in the area. It was the western hemisphere’s first privately owned international airport. Hotels and resortsPunta Cana is known for many luxury resorts. Because they are spaced far and few between, most of them are the all-inclusive types. DivingDue to its popularity as a tourist destination and its location at the Caribbean Sea, diving is one of the tourist activities. The marine area surrounding Punta Cana was declared a marine reserve in 2012.[9] Marine biodiversityThe following species have been registered in the waters around Punta Cana:
