The city

What to expect from Isla Saona (Mano Juan).

Mano Juan is the fishing village of Isla Saona, the country’s largest island, inside Parque Nacional Cotubanamá. It has small colorful wooden houses, a long white-sand beach with coconut palms, and a sea turtle protection center. It’s the quietest part of the island, for those who want to stay beyond the day trip and see the natural pool out at sea.
