Playa Dorada’s glorious white sands, clean waters and colorful
reefs make this beach one of the most well-known tourist destinations
on the island. The beach has different sections, with certain parts
reserved for the patrons of nearby beachfront resorts, but other
parts remain open to the general public. Sun yourself on the fine
sands, go snorkeling off the shore and cool off by wading into the
sea.
With its pristine sands and soothing water, this beach is an ideal
place to recharge. If you stay at one of the oceanfront resorts,
avail of the sun loungers and umbrellas provided. Otherwise, bring a
towel and stake out a spot on the sand away from the reserved
sections. This beach is mostly frequented by families and couples
staying at the luxury resorts that border it and the atmosphere is
quiet and easy-going.
Be sure to go for a swim while here. The gentle slope of the beach
means the depth increases very gradually, making the waters safe for
children. Rent flippers and snorkels to check out the coral beds,
which can be found just off the shore. Schools of vivid tropical fish
duck and dive around the pretty coral.
For something more fast-paced, ask at the beach hut about what
watersports you can participate in. Go kayaking or sailing or try out
windsurfing or parasailing. After an exhilarating activity, reward
your bravery with a drink back at one of the beachside bars at the
far ends of the beach. Socialize with other bar patrons and linger to
watch the sun set over the ocean.
Playa Dorada is situated on the Dominican Republic’s north coast
just south of the center of Puerto Plata. Several all-inclusive
resorts are located along this beach. The beach is about a 10-minute
drive or taxi ride from Puerto Plata. It can also be reached by
riding in guaguas (private mini-vans).
