Cabo Rojo Airport (CBJ) to Bahía de las Águilas

What this destination covers

This page covers transfer interest specifically to Bahía de las Águilas — the protected beach — rather than the wider Jaragua National Park, which has its own page covering Laguna de Oviedo and Isla Beata. Because the beach sits inside a national park with boat or unpaved-track access and no on-site lodging, any future CBJ transfer to this destination will likely need to account for park rules and the boat crossing from La Cueva, none of which we can describe procedurally until it is confirmed by the park authority and the airport operator.

What is confirmed

• Bahía de las Águilas is a beach inside Jaragua National Park, a protected area managed by the Dominican Republic's national park authority.
• Access today is by boat departing from La Cueva, or by a rough unpaved track suitable for 4x4 vehicles; there is no paved road directly to the beach.
• The beach has no hotels or permanent lodging on-site, consistent with its status as protected parkland.
• Jaragua National Park, which contains the beach, also includes Laguna de Oviedo and Isla Beata further along the protected coastline.

What is planned or expected

• CBJ is planned to open in February 2027 at a site north of Bahía de las Águilas, within the same general area of Pedernales province.
• Once operating, CBJ is expected to shorten the practical journey for travellers heading to this beach compared with current arrival points such as Barahona or Santo Domingo, though no confirmed transfer or road plan exists yet.
• Whether any new access arrangement, permit system or infrastructure will be introduced for Bahía de las Águilas alongside the airport's opening has not been announced.
• Any transfer connecting CBJ to the boat launch point at La Cueva or to the unpaved access track will only be confirmed once the airport itself is operational.

Where we can drop you

There is no confirmed drop-off arrangement for Bahía de las Águilas because it is reached by boat from La Cueva or by an unpaved track, and no CBJ-linked transfer exists yet. We record your interest so we can advise on the realistic route once the airport is operating and park access details are clear.
