Puerto Plata – Rest in the Republic of the Dominican Republic
One of the largest resorts in the Dominican Republic is Puerto Plata. The picturesque area is located to the north and includes three smaller towns. Among which are Playa Dorada, Cabarete and Sosua. It is clear that in the villages and the beaches are cleaner, and the air. The first beach, behind which a string of the most beautiful and cleanest for kilometers (with a total length of about 115) places stretches, is Long Beach. Therefore, if you want to enjoy the real and unadorned beauty, then you can safely come to the local region, which has something to surprise and boast about.
Cabaret
As for Cabarete, this resort is located just 15 km from the city of Puerto Plata. Tourists know this place for windsurfing. The village is located in the east, where the wind is a constant companion, regardless of the season. If lovers of cozy coves may be repelled by this, then travelers who come to enjoy sailing sports to the maximum, on the contrary, beckons. That is why during the wind season – from February to March, there are so many young people and older people in these parts – in the word of all windsurfing fans.
Sousa
A small village is also located near Puerto, just 20 km away. This is a fairly quiet and peaceful place, which is ideal for those who want to take a break from the hustle and bustle of the city crowd. Sosua is famous for its large number of cafes, bars, restaurants and shops.
Playa Dorada
Playa Dorada attracts tourists with its relative distance from the main resort “Plata”, which is only 5 km, as well as its proximity to the airport (there is nothing to it – 10-15 minutes by car). In addition, the resort has everything your heart desires – from expensive hotels to equestrian and golf clubs, as well as a large number of different bars.
Dominican sights and excursions
Excursions are what attracts most tourists who are tired of the constant beach holiday. I must say that there is something to visit in the Dominican Republic. The country boasts beautiful and quirky churches, some of which are hundreds of years old. Those wishing to get acquainted with history have the opportunity to visit museums, which are also enough. Some of the most popular are the Ostal Gimeson Museum and the Taino Museum. It will not be superfluous to go on a tour and to the distillery, see the lighthouse, the statue of Jesus, the funicular or the fort. This is something that will be interesting not only for adults, but also for their children, however, over 10 years old.
The Dominican Republic is one solid exotic, so if you want to spend a day or at least a couple of hours in silence and complete solitude, it will not be difficult to carry out your plans. Many travelers, in addition to the sights of their city, the one in which they are located, strive to get acquainted with other beauties and architectural monuments located in neighboring villages.
If there is such an opportunity, then you should definitely go to Santo Domingo, where there are cultural achievements and achievements in terms of shopping. Numerous shopping centers will not leave anyone indifferent.
The Samana Peninsula is famous for its whale watching trips. It is an amazing sight when you have the opportunity to observe large marine mammals with your own eyes. It is worth noting that such an event can be visited only in winter, from January to March. This cannot be done at other times of the year. True, no one canceled other entertainment, such as sailing on a yacht, on a catamaran, fishing and the like.
