Whether you're dreaming of lazing on bright white beaches and listening to the calming Caribbean Sea or pulling on your walking boots and exploring the islands lush mangroves, Puerto Plata holidays serve up plenty of diversity. Known as the silver city on the amber coast, this all-round destination in the Dominican Republic is loved for its pearly sands and swaying palms
Essential Information: When you go and what you'll need
Getting Around
Public transport is readily available for tourists wishing to explore the Puerto Plata area, including taxis (fast, but more expensive) and buses (slower, but cheap). The main transport is the guagua, a small minivan that holds a surprising number of people! You can hop on a motorcycle taxi, or hire your own bike or scooter if you’d prefer. Car hire is available, but Dominican drivers can be reckless.
Grab your Snorkel and Flippers
The Puerto Plata area offers up some fantastic snorkelling opportunities, especially just off Playa Sosua beach. You only have to swim about 100m out from the shore and you’ll be met with a multi-coloured reef and plenty of sea creatures to spot. You can hire your kit too, so don’t worry about making room in your case.
Doze on Soft, Sugary Sand
Everyone needs some well-earned rest and relaxation on holiday, so spend as many days as you want to enjoying one of the Dominican Republic's stunning white sandy beaches. There are so many to choose from you could visit a new beach every day! Grab your suncream and a good book and spend some time daydreaming in paradise, with the occasional dip in warm waters. Beachfront cocktails recommended!
Go Kitesurfing in Cabarate
It's not all fly and flop in Dom Rep! Watersports are big business and the white sand beaches and near-perfect conditions attract adventure-loving holidaymakers in their droves. Beaches in the small town of Cabarate offer the best kitesurfing and windsurfing on the island. As the name suggests, Kite Beach is popular with kite surfers and there are several schools promising to make you a kitesurfing and windsurfing pro in no time. The nightlife is just as great, and so are the restaurants and bars on the main street.
Visit the Adventure Park and Casino
Puerto Plata’s Ocean World Adventure Park, Casino and Marina offer heaps of unadulterated fun. Get up close and personal with dolphins, sea lions, stingrays and sharks or seek your thrill by interacting with the park’s tigers. Later on you could indulge in a bit of gambling at the casino which is built around the marine theme and offers Vegas-type shows.
