The Mirador de San Rafael is one of the most iconic stops along the Barahona coastal road. Located on the way to Pedernales and Bahía de las Águilas, this scenic viewpoint offers travelers a breathtaking panoramic view of the Caribbean Sea and the lush green mountains that surround the area. It is a favorite stop for taking photographs, enjoying the sea breeze, and appreciating the natural beauty of the Dominican Republic’s southern coast.
From here, visitors can admire the vibrant turquoise waters that contrast with the rugged coastline, making it one of the most memorable landscapes of the journey. The Mirador is also a great place to pause before continuing to attractions such as Playa San Rafael, Playa Los Patos, and Laguna de Oviedo.
