Puerto Plata has it all
Almost anything you can think of doing on vacation, you can do in Puerto Plata. There are plenty of beachfront hotels along the soft sands of Costa Dorada and Cofresi Beach. Playa Grande is popular among those looking to ride waves, whether it be surfing, windsurfing or kitesurfing. Along the way, you can also take a trip to cultural landmarks and museums or do something a little more extreme like ziplining through the rainforest. Everything you need is there for your choosing.
Grab a board and ride
Puerto Plata is a premiere place for catching waves and it’s full of options. Puerto Plata has hosted the Professional Windsurfing Association World Cup several times and now runs the yearly Cabarete Race Week for those who want to compete in windsurfing.
