Well-priced, all-inclusive beach resorts are the norm around Puerto Plata. Take a cable car to the peak of Mount Isabel de Torres, enjoy a concert at an amphitheater facing the Atlantic Ocean, visit the 16th-century San Felipe Fortress. Explore the nearby falls of Damajagua, snorkel off the beautiful island of Cayo Arena or play a round of golf in spectacular surroundings. Then discover the neighboring towns of Cabarete, a kite-boarding hub, and Sosúa, a picturesque beach spot.

Our tour began with a two hour bus ride through the mostly scenic countryside to Punta Rusio to board the catamaran to Cayo Arena ( Paradise Island). We were served snacks, rum punch and champagne. We toured the mangroves but unfortunately did not see any Manatees. we then stopped at a natural swimming hole in the ocean and played around for a bit and enjoyed the floating bar! Back onboard to go to Paradise Island which really is just the most awesome sandbar surrounded by coral reefs in the clearest turquise waters. Awesome snorkelling (gear provided) and more refreshments. Once back on the mainland we were treated to a delicious buffet lunch which included lobster tails!! The staff are fun and very attentive! The ONLY negative is that it wasn't long enough!

The most popular beach in Puerto Plata is located on the Dominican Republic's famous Amber Coast.
Well groomed golden sands lots of which you can walk comfortably for miles and miles, views in every direction. Gently sloping towards the ocean full of gently rolling waves. Buoys mark the safe areas to swim, and seperate the swimmers from the watercraft, saw lifeguard towers but no one occupying them ever so assume there arent any if travelling with small children. Hotels line the perimiter of the beach with various types of sun shelters and guards posted at each hotel so its very safe. You will be asked to buy something or looky no money mister liquidation by continuous waves of vendors whether seated or walking the beach. Say no firmly, but what they dont understand is you spend your week saying no repetitively to so many people selling the same maybe we would rather a bit of peace in Paradise. Yes I gave in eventually and bought something then I would say I bought from Fausto number 10 already it seemed to work better than no. I walked the soft warm sand ankle deep in the surf in both directions absolutely enjoyable. Compact sand for walking so it is possible for mobility challenged walkers to still enjoy. I think it is as beautiful as Punta Cana in its own way.
