What you can see on the Casa de Campo cams
One camera looks over Minitas beach: the sand with its rows of loungers and parasols, the shallow turquoise water inside the reef and the open Caribbean beyond. The other looks across the 19th hole of the Teeth of the Dog, the resort's most famous golf course, with the green, the bunkers and the palm trees, and the sea on the horizon.
The sand and the reef at Minitas
From the beach club at Minitas, this camera looks along the sand with its rows of white loungers and folded parasols to the shallow turquoise water and the open Caribbean, with the reef marked by a line of foam offshore. A small panel in the corner gives the temperature.
It shows the state of the sea, the colour of the water and how full the beach is through the day.
The 19th hole of the Teeth of the Dog
Looking across the 19th hole of the Teeth of the Dog golf course, this camera shows the green with its flag, the white bunkers, the fairway lined with palms and trees and, on the horizon, a strip of the sea.
Golfers use it to see the weather and the wind over the course before they play.
Golf by the sea
The Teeth of the Dog was designed by Pete Dye and opened in the early 1970s, with several holes laid out right along the rocky shore; it is regularly ranked among the best golf courses in the Caribbean. Above the Chavón River, the resort also built Altos de Chavón, a village of stone houses and cobbled lanes in the style of a Mediterranean town, with an amphitheatre, galleries and a view over the river gorge.
When to watch Casa de Campo
The Dominican Republic keeps Atlantic Standard Time all year, four hours behind UTC. The south-east coast is one of the driest parts of the country, and the sea at Minitas is usually calm. The busiest season runs from December to April; the hurricane season lasts from June to November.
Around Casa de Campo
La Romana, the city next door, is known for its sugar mill and its baseball. Isla Catalina, a small island with white beaches and a reef, lies offshore, and Bayahibe, the gateway to Isla Saona, is about half an hour to the east.
Getting to Casa de Campo
La Romana's international airport is right next to the resort. Punta Cana airport is about an hour away by road, and Santo Domingo about an hour and a half. Minitas beach is for guests of the resort.
