Las Salinas is a town in the Barahona province of the Dominican Republic. The small peninsula forming the southern edge of the Bahia de Las Calderas creates an attractive ecosystem, containing salt flats and the most extensive sand dunes in the Caribbean. A naval base is sited here, but visitors can drive through to reach the outpost of Las Salinas, where a hotel and restaurant caters exclusively to windsurfers. The working salt extraction plant is conspicuous through its huge white mountains of finished salt. But the most spectacular views are from the sandy hillsides facing out to the Caribbean. It`s only half hour drive from Bani. Las Salinas is one of the most important salt mining centers in the Dominican Republic.
