Sosúa, Puerto Plata
Your home base on the north coast
A laid-back beach town with world-class diving, vibrant nightlife, and some of the most affordable Caribbean living you'll find anywhere.
Why Sosúa?
Sosúa sits on the north coast of the Dominican Republic, tucked between Puerto Plata and Cabarete. It's small enough to walk everywhere, big enough to never run out of things to do.
The town is famous for its crescent beach, clear water, and a relaxed international vibe that draws expats, digital nomads, and repeat visitors year after year. Prices are a fraction of what you'd pay in Punta Cana — and the experience is far more authentic.
What to see & do
Playa Sosúa
A protected crescent bay with calm, crystal-clear water. Perfect for swimming, snorkeling, and watching the sunset.
World-class diving
Sosúa is one of the Caribbean's top dive destinations. Coral reefs, wrecks, and tropical fish just minutes offshore.
Food & nightlife
From beachfront seafood shacks to rooftop bars, the town has a thriving restaurant and nightlife scene that punches well above its size.
Cabarete kitesurfing
The world-famous kitesurfing beach at Cabarete is just 10 minutes east — a must-visit even if you're not on a board.
Puerto Plata & cable car
The provincial capital is 20 minutes west. Ride the cable car to the top of Mount Isabel de Torres for panoramic views of the coast.
Easy to get here
