HI Ian wondering how the seaweed situation is in DR? in Punta Cana or La Romana?
I know it tends to me more in the warmer months but wondering what it is like there now?
is Punta Cana usually full of seaweed? or La Romana?
I love to swim in the sea and therefore finding a beach without seaweed is important to me
Thank you!

We have not had issues with seaweed this past year in the Punta Cana area.聽 Just normal amounts as in past years for the times I have been at the beach.
