Tourism in the Puerto Plata area has seen a big increase in the past few years, specially with the opening of a second cruise ship port (Taino Bay), which is located right at the heart of the city’s historic district; ideally letting passengers take a short walk to many historic landmark cafés, museums, shops, restaurants and other attractions.

Thousands of cruise passengers are now arriving to Puerto Plata every week, in luxury cruises such as Scarlet Lady from Virgin, MSC Seashore, Wonder of the Seas, Carnival Mardi Gras, and many other large cruise ships.

Sosua Beach

Given its status as the top nautical destination of the North Coast, Sosua Beach is providing most catamaran and yacht charters to thousands of cruise passengers that are also visiting from the Carnival Cruises  Amber Cove Port located in Maimon, Puerto Plata. The natural scenery and great Sosua snorkeling and diving spots make Sosua the ideal place most visitors want when it comes to a private charter experience.

The crystalline waters of Sosua beach, and the abundance of tropical fish  around its reefs allow visitors an engaging experience with its marine species, such as Sergeant Major, Blue Tang, Yellow Tail Snapper, Rays, turtles, Wrasses, and even dolphins. Young humpback whales can also be seen passing by during their winter migration to the Caribbean.

Sosua’s ample catalog of tours allow visitors to enjoy many other activities such as diving, banana boat, offshore fishing, zip lining, trekking, SUP paddle boarding, museum tour, and much more. Nearby Cabarete adds to the list, specially water sports such as surfing and kite surfing.

 A Great Family Activity:

Without a doubt, one of the best activities to enjoy as a family is Snorkeling, which consists of the use of a mask that allows you to see underwater, along with a tube that makes it easier for you to breathe without having to look away from the water surface.

This recreational activity and water sport offers us an exciting experience of underwater exploration in one of the most valuable and important ecosystems for marine life. 

They have a very extensive biodiversity, it is estimated that 25% of all marine life depends on reefs in some cycle of its life and are the habitat of different species of sponges, oysters, clams, crabs, starfish, sea urchins and many species of fish.

When someone visits a well-preserved coral reef for the first time, the first impression is an explosion of feelings, such as amazement and happiness, since so many things are happening around you that you do not know where to look, wherever you look.

Just look and you will discover something new. In them, life is exuberant, and they offer a visual display of organisms with different shapes and colors that you never thought could exist.

Sosua, Puerto Plata a few minutes from the Mysterious Alicia Beach, also known as “Miraculous Beach” that emerged from nowhere in 2003 due to the natural displacement of sand by the natural action of wind currents and ocean water.

One of the most impressive characteristics of this beach is its beautiful turquoise blue color and its amazing crystalline transparency, offering great visibility many meters away; in this reef we can find a great variety of fish of various colors and sizes.

The most adult fish are the friendliest ones that won’t even be afraid to eat out of the palm of your hand. You can access by boat from Playa Sosúa, where there are some very interesting boats with glass bottoms that allow you to see the bottom of the sea while you walk the entire Bay of Sosúa.

This new beach bar and restaurant looks very nice and offers a complete menu with local and international dishes. The classic spots are still there, in between rows of gift shops.

We made a stop at the Tree House and snapped a few shots, what a nice staff and great food there. Getting to the loungers area the fruit seller had a smile for us, despite carrying a basket with fruit over his head, under the hot sun. A catamaran in the background was so close to the shore, looked like  it was picking up tourists for a day of endless fun.

Further down we resumed our walk of the restaurants and stopped to say hi at Big D, the king of BBQ ribs, undisputed. It has become a landmark for North Americans to stop there and try BBQ with Presidente beer.

A Sosua Beach pet dog seemed to care little as we got the camera so close to him, and snap a photo while he laid like a rag doll, living the beach life.

After walking by a little more we stopped by Mofongo King and had a Sex on the Beach drink in their bar, our favorite since we first tried it here back in 2018 when we published the video of the bartender fixing us a delightful one:

Another stop at the French Bar restaurant Cathy Et Remy, to try a B52! they make the original recipe mandatory, Cointreau, Kahlua and Grand Marnier, flambée.

Another great addition to the beach is Malibu`s Beach Club, with great staff and a fantastic selection of drinks. They also offer lockers for their customers, and also deliver drinks to the beach lounge areas. 39 Street is also another new bar to try, we will visit soon and publish their photos on the next Sosua Beach photos 180 update we publish here.
