Sosua is a great destination for explorers looking for an active beach town. Sosua is centrally located on the DR's North Coast. You will find many small hotels as well as large all-inclusive resorts. Sosua is known as one of the nation's first tourist destinations. The city is also known for its large ex-patriot community with residents from the US, Canada, Europe and other parts of Latin American. The one kilometer long Sosua Beach continues to be the main attraction of the area. Even though many vendors have set up shop right on the beach, it's still one of the most spectacular in the Dominican Republic. Sosua was originally settled by around 600 Jewish refugees fleeing persecution from WWII. They established Productos Sosua, which is still in operation today. The Sosua Synagogue has a museum and offers religious services.

Sosua is close enough to Puerto Plata to enjoy all its attractions. Visit the Amber Museum, take the cable car ride up to the Botanical Gardens atop Isabela de Torres Mountain. Take a tour of the rum factory with free samples and an option to buy quality rum. Spend the morning at the Columbus Water Park with its many slides and pools. Spend the afternoon at the Go Kart/Bumper Car park that is open all night. These two parks are just a 15-minute drive from Sosua.
