Smack in the heart of Las Terrenas, Pueblo de los Pescadores was originally the main landing site for the area’s fishermen. Over time, this beachfront evolved into a hub of seafront entertainment with its colorful row of trendy restaurants and bars. Relax on outdoor lounge decks, directly on the beach, and enjoy your meals al fresco–with French, American, or Dominican menus–to Las Terrenas’s scenic views. At night, the Pueblo de los Pescadores comes even more alive as the various venues host happy hours, and patrons dance indoors or barefoot on the beach as DJs spin music echoing all the way into the ocean.
