Playa Ojeda is not the kind of beach heralded by glossy travel magazines. There are no fancy five-star resorts or glamorous sunbathers in sight, because throwing a towel on the pebble-covered shore isn’t ideal. But the sight of the clear blue sea contrasted against the bright white coast is so stunningly beautiful you will want to stop for a look should you find yourself making the drive between Barahona and Pedernales.
