Sosua is the typical beach town of the Caribbean, with that little extra that someone cannot define but makes the place unique! Crystal clear sea with amazing corals and vivid marine life for hose …Full review by Marie Veronique S

They have lots of different water toys, they all cost money to use. I don't remember seeing paddle boards for rent here & I'm sure it's because the water is quite rough. Perhaps there is seasonal times of the year when the water would be calmer ... my best suggestion is to find a secluded area.

Yes. The bay is extremely protected. The coral is non existent when I was there in 7/18’ but there is plenty of interesting fish life. Squid ,morays, trigger fish, frog fish. Outside the bay they take tours. I actually had a boat to the outer reef to myself. There are 3 patches of coral outside of the bay. Again teeming with life if you’re patient. Cow fish. Morays. A ray. Ok not teeming but fun afternoon snorkel. I found a boat to take me out from the bay. Not a dive shop but from two guys working at one of the bars/eateries. It was 15$ for as long as I wanted. I had my own equipment

The nearest nice beach from the terminal is Playa Dorada in Puerto Plata. That's appx 30 min one way. Sosua Beach is a good 50 -60 min. one way. Taxi cost would be between 1500 - 3000 pesos ($30-$60 US) round trip. Agree to price up-front.

Sure, it would take about an hour with normal traffic. Playa Sosua is a small beach with a lot of small beach shack type shops, restaurants, bars - and generally a fair number of people. It is nice white sand, but it is not a big beach. If you don't want the commercial aspect, then ask the taxi to take you just a few minutes farther to Playa Alicia, which is a smaller very quiet more beautiful beach with no services. Enjoy!
