Information of Interest
The village, located to the east of the International Airport (15 km) and about 25 km far
from of Puerto Plata, was founded in 1938 by 500 Jewish settlers. Sosua is well known
all over the island for its milk and meat products along with being the number one
tourist destination in the northern coast of the island outside of all the all inclusive
resorts where residents and vacationers can really get a feel for what the Dominican
Republic has to offer.
The village character is shaped by over 25 international restaurants, coffee shops, bars,
several international schools, butcher shops, bakeries, discos, casinos, and beaches.
The English language is widely used at many of the local tourist friendly
establishments in town, but knowing a little bit of Spanish can only help.
When relaxation, water sports and a beautifully untouched tropical environment are your
primary interests, then Sosua is the right place for you. This little town on the north
coast of the Dominican Republic offers a broad variety of leisure activities and so does
near-by Cabarete, which is only 15 minutes away by car.
While Sosua mainly attracts scuba divers, Cabarete is known as one of the best areas
in the world for wind and kite surfing. At night, surfers, Dominicans and tourists mingle
in one of the numerous bars and discos in town and enjoy partying together while
moonshine romantics stroll along the white sandy beaches.
Sosua has a large community of expats from a variety of countries who enjoy the
interesting mix of nationalities in this unique Dominican seaside town. If you plan on
overstaying your vacation and living here, you'll quickly make friends with others who
have already done exactly that. Check out the Life in the D.R. Forum online.
Both Sosua and Cabarete have indeed something to offer for everyone.
