Bahia Maimon is a little further west from Cofresi and comprises a complex of three hotels beside a sandy beach. This quiet resort is perfect for a totally relaxing beach getwaway. It is here that Columbus established his first settlement in the Americas. Unlike the busier resorts of Sosua and Playa Dorada, Bahia Maimon is utterly tranquil and restful, yet still contains the soft sandy beach and turquoise sea that attracts people to the area. A perfect choice for a break away from the rat race, you are sure to leave feeling relaxed and refreshed.

Cabarete stretches out beside a ribbon of fine sand around a sweeping bay. It lies about 30 km east of Puerto Plata and is backed by a meandering lagoon. Watersports are a popular pastime here - particularly windsurfing. There's also a selection of small gift shops and amenities around the Plazez Commerical Centre. Night-life is focused along the beach where you can find numerous restaurants.

Cofresi lies ten kilometres to the west of Puerto Plata, the capital of the Amber Coast. It was named after an infamous Puerto Rican pirate, Captain Roberto Cofresi - regarded by many as a Puerto Rican version of Robin Hood, due to his practise of sharing his bounty with the needy. What began as a small fishing village is now a stunning resort, with a divine golden sandy beach lapped by crystal clear waters.

Playa Dorada A playground for sun worshippers and golfers, this purpose-built area embraces many top quality hotels and night-spots, a commercial centre and renowned golf course right on the beach and 6.5 kilometres from Puerto Plata town. The central point is Plaza Playa Dorada, a cluster of shops, restaurants and local amenities.

Puerto Plata Founded in 1502, this charming, historic town is the capital of the Amber Coast. Situated at the base of Mount Isabel de Torres, it offers plenty for all ages. Enjoy a walk along the Malecon or take the cable car to the summit of Mount Isabel de Torres with its botanical gardens

Sosua A popular resort on the north coast, Sosua combines a fantastic horseshoe-shaped beach of golden sand with a wide array of entertainment. The laid-back atmosphere is relaxing, yet away from the sands there are abundant souvenir shops, restaurants, cafes and music bars to keep you happy - all of which have a typical Dominican feel.
