Beaches
Playa Sosúa
Playa Sosúa is the main beach, and practically a city within a city. Located on a crescent-
shaped bay with calm, turquoise waters, this narrowing (due to erosion) stretch of sand is
backed by palm trees and a seemingly endless row of souvenir vendors, restaurants, bars
and even manicurists. The crowds of Dominican families and long-term visitors staying in
local hotels and condos make this beach a great place for people-watching. Snorkel gear is
available for rent (two hours RD$400, includes life jacket, bottle of Coca-Cola for you
and bread for the fish).
BEACH
Playa Alicia
An ordinary and wide patch of brownish-yellow sand (no shade) lapped by calm waters,
Playa Alicia has steadily grown and been 'replenished' since its creation nearly a decade
ago. Whether this has been done in an environmentally sound manner is disputed. Steps
