Getting There
-
Walking
If you are staying in the main area of Puerto Plata, start by heading towards the Malecon (the coastal boardwalk). Walk along the Malecon until you reach the intersection with Calle 12 de Julio. Turn left onto Calle 12 de Julio and continue walking straight until you reach the traffic circle. At the traffic circle, take the first exit onto Avenida General Gregorio Luperón. Continue along this road for about 15-20 minutes, and you will see signs directing you to Sosua. Keep an eye out for public transport options like 'carros publicos' (shared taxis) or motorcycle taxis that can take you to Sosúa for a small fee. If you choose to walk, you will eventually arrive at Sosua Beach.
-
Public Transport
To reach Sosua Beach via public transport, first, find your way to the nearest 'parada' (bus stop) for 'carros publicos' (shared taxis). You can usually find these near major hotels or the central square in Puerto Plata. Once at the parada, look for a shared taxi heading to Sosúa. The fare is low, typically around 100-150 Dominican Pesos. The trip will take around 30 minutes. Once you arrive in Sosúa, ask the driver to drop you off at Sosua Beach or follow the signs to the beach, which is just a short walk from the town center.
-
Motorcycle Taxi
If you prefer a quicker option, you can take a motorcycle taxi (motoconcho) to Sosua Beach. Look for designated motorcycle taxi stands or simply wave one down. Negotiate the fare before you get on; it should be around 200-300 Dominican Pesos. The ride will take about 20-25 minutes. The motorcycle taxi will drop you off close to the beach entrance, making it an easy option to get to your destination.
