The beach has a wild attractiveness and is shaded by mango, almond and sea-grape trees. A solid stone-wall has been built on the shore to prevent the erosion of the land and has proven to be very effective. A perpendicular wall has been built into the water on the west side to enhance the accumulation of sand. The beach on the east side of the property has a thin layer of pebbles, but the west side of the property is primarily sandy. The entire beach area can be greatly improved with some cleaning and minor dredging. A boat dock could also be installed on the east side of the property to protect and preserve the swimming area on the remainder of the beachfront.
Adjacent to Arroyo Barril Estates is a local executive airport named Arroyo Barril. The airport has a modern air terminal and has both a customs office and fuel facilities. It caters to private and local charter flights and is within 30 to 45 minutes flight from all the main international airports in the Dominican Republic. Traffic volume is very low and there are no jet aircraft arriving or departing. As such, there are no noise abatement issues. The airport is open from sunrise to sunset and is well-suited for a residential community and residents who own private aircraft. The runway is aligned east-west and has a paved length of 4,582 feet (1.4 km) with prevailing winds out of the east. Arroyo Barril has a control tower during daylight hours and is certified for Visual Flight Rules (VFR) only.
