Hugging a crescent-shaped bay, positioned only twenty minutes east of Puerto Plata, Sosua, with its multicolored sands lined with beach shacks, is everything you want a beach town to be. Clear waters teem with coral, perfect for snorkeling and diving. It became a notorious tourist attraction in the mid 1980`s when all-inclusive tourism began in the island. Sosua is also a rich town in historical aspects and has a vivid international nightlife scene.
