Monte Cristi

On our way back from Dajabón, we stopped in Monte Cristi to do a little bit of sightseeing. Monte Cristi is located on the northwest coast of the island. These scenic pictures are actually from the outskirts of the city. I had never been here before, so it was nice to see another part of the island.

These are the salt flats by the ocean. The sea water is let into the flats, and then the natural drying process occurs in the sun, leaving only salt crystals behind.

A beautiful pier with a gazebo at the end.

Another shot of the same pier.

Standing on the pier and looking to the left, you could see the fishing boats lined up along the coast.
