10 Budget-friendly Things to do in Sosua That You Shouldn't Miss

September 5, 2021 Elouise Mccaul

Sosua is everything you want a beach town to be. Clear waters teem with coral, perfect for snorkeling and diving. Above sea level you’ll find multicolored sands lined with beach shacks. This small enclave of the Dominican Republic was once a haven for Jewish refugees. Historic sites and synagogues offer great perspective on Sosua’s postwar identity. On a lighter note, a community of ex-pats helps fuel a boisterous, international nightlife scene.

This bar is cute and affordable. They play the hockey games which appeals to people on vacation that want to watch the game. The drinks are reasonably prices and they care for the stray dogs which is really nice.

This is a great place if you need a little tennis while on vacation in the Dominican. Newly established center with 4 well groomed courts and welcoming people. The canopy court is perfect for protection from sun and wind. Traveling alone? There are very competent pros to sign up with for lessons or a casual hit. Highly recommend.

Sosua Beach

This often crowded beach features white sand and turquoise waters.

Reviewed By PKSGIRL2011 - Southington, United States

Sosua is a wonder beach with warm clear water, awesome snorkeling, and plenty of delicious restaurants. I am writing this more of an encouragement for those traveling to this destination or staying at a resort in Sosua to consider bringing items to donate. Although this country is beautiful there are many living below poverty level. We were made aware of a school for displaced children. An orphanage that houses about 30 children. They survive through donations only. There are times during the year when the kids don’t have enough to each. Jolly Rogers restaurant hosts a Christmas party and provides some support through the year. I would encourage those traveling to the area to bring extra clothing, toiletries (toothbrush toothpaste soaps), shoes and expecially nonperishable food items. I’m sure that Jolly Rogers could get these items to the school. If you have any questions or would like more information feel free to message me.
