Sosúa Beach
Playa Sosúa
A calm beach in a horseshoe-shaped bay, with clear water and small waves. It is the base for snorkelling and diving along the Amber Coast.
Sosúa Beach lies about 25 km east of Puerto Plata. Its curved bay is framed by cliffs, and the water is calm and clear. Snorkelling near shore reveals coral and tropical fish. Several dive sites and shipwrecks lie beyond the bay, and dive shops can arrange boat trips. Behind the beach, a row of handicraft stalls and snack bars can feel crowded, and sellers are rather persistent. Nearby Playa Alegría is quieter. In 1940, the town took in Jewish refugees fleeing Nazi persecution, and it has a small Jewish museum.
