Puerto Plata
On the Dominican Republic's northern Amber Coast, Puerto Plata is surrounded by mountain ranges, a two-mile crescent of powdery amber sands, and the sparkling waters of the Atlantic. Puerto Plata is aptly named for the silvery hues of its natural harbor. Here, the infectious rhythms of Caribbean music can be heard all around! Playa Dorada, a gated resort area of all-inclusive hotels situated by an 18-hole golf course boasts more than two miles of gorgeous shoreline. Cabarete is a cool, hip coastal village located just 25 minutes from Puerto Plata. The area is known as the world's kite boarding and windsurfing capital. Massive herds of migratory humpback whales visit the island's north shore to mate and rear their calves between January and March.
