The Dominican Republic is located in the Caribbean, occupying the eastern two-thirds of the island of Hispaniola, between the Caribbean Sea and the North Atlantic Ocean, east of Haiti. The Dominican Republic is situated between the islands of Cuba and Puerto Rico. The beaches cover more than 500 miles of coastline.
The Dominican Republic is slightly more than twice the size of New Hampshire! It is the second largest island in the Caribbean next to Cuba. It is approximately 837 nautical miles from Florida!
The local time zone is Eastern Caribbean Time (GMT -0400). In the winter this is one hour ahead of Eastern Time. The Dominican Republic does not observe daylight savings time.
The Dominican Republic consists of sandy unspoiled beaches, coral reefs, tropical rain forests, lush rolling mountains and rapid rivers! Diverse terrain and extraordinary natural beauty is a hallmark of the Dominican Republic’s six regions. The six regions are Central, East Coast, North Coast, Northeast Coast, South Central and the Southwest Coast.
