campground on the beach.

Below, are some ways you might do your vacation:

Caribbean Beach Vacation

Dominican Republic for their all inclusives with

way to go for families.

the second largest barrier reef in the world.  It
also has many activities for families to explore
outside of the resort.  You can rent a car, hire
a taxi, or even take a public bus.
