The Dominican Republic’s north coast region is a bustling tourist area that boasts several fun, exciting, and interesting places to visit. If you’re planning a trip to the DR, make sure to include the North Coast in your itinerary and check out everything it has to offer.

Here is a list of North Coast towns in the DR you don’t want to miss. Keep reading to learn how you can extend your stay in Cabarete, DR with Casa Linda!

Sosua

Sosua (located five hours from Punta Cana) is one of the North Coast’s top tourist destinations. It’s famous for its unique history and rich Jewish heritage, which you can learn more about at the Sosua Jewish Museum (Museo Judio de Sosua).

Playa Sosua, the town’s main beach, is its biggest attraction due to its golden sand and crystal clear water. This beach is popular for travellers who love swimming, sailing, and popular watersports.

The Sosua real estate market also draws many expats and foreign investors thanks to the DR’s comparatively affordable property prices and our straightforward purchasing process. You’ll find many North American-owned vacation homes in this bustling town!

Other attractions, such as the diverse food scene, vibrant nightlife, and the Mundo King Art Museum (which resembles a large castle), make Sosua one of the DR’s must-see locations.

Cabarete

Just 20 minutes outside of Sosua, you’ll find Cabarete (where our Casa Linda community is located). This beach town is a hub for surfing and kiteboarding, and is currently ranked as the Watersports Capital of the World! Many events for day and evening crowds are hosted along Cabarete Beach, which offers many oceanside restaurants, cafes, and shops.

Some popular tourist activities include touring the El Choco National Park and Cabarete Caves, ATV adventuring, and catamaran sailing. Cabarete also features a great dance and music scene. You can usually find events like bachata dancing and live concerts most days of the week!

If you want to stay in Cabarete for a few days and are also considering buying a vacation home in the DR, our Fly and Try Program allows you to sample the luxury and amenities of Casa Linda’s gated community (you can learn more about this program here)!

Puerto Plata

If you love touring historic sites, you don’t want to skip Puerto Plata. This North Coast city boasts a rich and fascinating history. It’s known as the “Silver City, thanks to its significance in the silver trade. If you love stories of pirates, tour the Fortaleza San Felipe, a 16th-century fortress built to deter these sailing scavengers from this beautiful city.

In addition to its many historic sites, Puerto Plata is also a popular festival city. Events like the Merengue Festival and Puerto Plata Cultural Festival feature regional foods, live music, dance, and more, giving tourists a sample of the DR’s vibrant culture and traditions!
