Located on the Amber Coast and boasting some stunning sand and marvelous views of the surrounding Dominican Republic landscapes, Playa Dorada is the main beach of the Puerto Plata resort area. The views of the mountains in the distance never get old at this extraordinary beach, which is exceptionally long and never too crowded, with more than enough room for everyone to be happy. Another nice aspect of this beach is that even though there are several hotels and resort buildings along the way, they're all relatively small so as not to spoil the skyline or cast too much shade onto the sand. Lots of good quality restaurants are found near Playa Dorada too. Map
