Planning a Trip

Getting There

To get here from Puerto Plata, take the autopista (Rte. 5) east for about 30 minutes. If you venture off the main highway, anticipate enormous potholes. Taxis, charter buses, and públicos from Puerto Plata and Playa Dorada let passengers off at the stairs leading down from the highway to Sosúa beach. Most rides cost RD$60 to RD$100 (US$1.80-US$3/90p-£1.50).
