Puerto Plata

If you want to be near the sea but prefer to be in a fully-packed city rather than a small town, the coastal city of Puerto Plata is a great option. Not only do you have access to all the conveniences of a city, you can also enjoy the golden sand and resort environment of Playa Dorada. If you walk beyond the resorts´ area, you will reach tranquil waters with less touristic development.
