El Paseo and the Pueblo de los Pescadores (fishing village facing the ocean) are both very lively during the day and at night time.

Going out

The night life in Las Terrenas starts at sunset. The pulsing beats fill then the air with life and draw locals and tourists alike toward the crowded dance floors of the world’s hottest night clubs and bars. More than a way of life on the island, Dominicans view dancing as an art and take pride in sharing their native movements with others. Salsa, Latin jazz and other types of dance music can be heard in the country, but are not as popular as their beloved merengue and bachata counterparts. Bar-discotheques such as La Bodega, El Syroz Bar, El Nuevo Mundo, La Ranchita etc, accessible on foot from the Residencia, are part of the emblematic nightlife of the village.
