More commonly called the "Acapulco of the Dominican Republic" the city has undergone progressive growth since the 1970’s. Despite the newly renovation, the city has still managed to keep its charming and vibrant environment with hundreds of shops, resorts, nightclubs, and restaurants. However, Sosua’s greatest appeal lies in its large sandy beaches lined with deep blue waters where you can relax, sunbathe, swim, or practice water sports.
In Sosua you only need to walk to get wherever you want. Yet for longer distances, or if you want to visit some other places or beaches, you can take any of the many buses or minibuses that run throughout the city, especially for trips to Puerto Plata, Playa Dorada or Cabarete.
