Las Terrenas has a tourist area and a local area. Heidi and I like to check out what the locals are up to.

Looks like empanadas. You can't find these in the tourist section.

YES! Fresh empanadas.

The goal is to see how far the beach goes east of Las Terrenas. This could be a mega hike.

The beach walking conditions are perfect.

Some places the sand is course.

Other places the sand is as smooth as powered sugar.

We hike an hour and a half before reaching the end of the beach.
