Chad I agree vendors are a problem in the carribean in general.
We've been to several islands in the past 4 years, just came back
from St. Maartin in June and I have never seen such a small island
with just about all of the population trying to sell you something. But I do like to buy some of the stuff as gifts and reminders of our
vacations. In December we will be going back to the DR, Punta Cana, and you can walk the beach for miles with out being pestered to buy something. The resorts usually have security guards posted on the beach to keep them away, along with time share vendors. I really enjoy the northern part of DR, but I love the beaches of Punta Cana, you should really look into it. Char.
