5 Tolerable

This beach is truly a wonder to behold, but it is in dire need of some cleaning. Unfortunately, there is a significant amount of litter scattered about. Despite this issue, the natural beauty of the area is simply breathtaking.

8 Very good

Azua's historical beach is a hidden gem that has the potential to be even more breathtaking with a little attention. However, the serene and peaceful atmosphere makes it an ideal spot for relaxation. The water is perfect for a refreshing swim and will leave you feeling rejuvenated.

10 Exceptional

Ah, what a splendid patch of sand and sea! This particular beach, nestled in the southern region of the Dominican Republic, is an absolute delight. Azua, you say? Why, it's positively divine. I could spend hours upon hours basking in the sun and frolicking in the waves. Truly, it's a slice of paradise on earth.

4 Frustrating

While this beach may appear decent at first glance, it seems the local authorities have been slacking on their duties to maintain this popular tourist destination. It's a shame that such a potentially beautiful spot is being neglected, leaving visitors to fend for themselves amidst the litter and unkempt surroundings. Perhaps if the powers that be put a bit more effort into preserving this natural wonder, it could truly shine as a gem of the coast.
