Jonathon's Guidebook to Sosua
Beaches and Snorkeling
Sosua has some of the best beaches in the DR (and arguably the World!). Think white sand, calm, crystal-clear turquoise waters and beautiful views of mountains in the horizon. We cannot think of a better place to spend a lazy day in the Caribbean. To top it off, these beautiful white sand beaches are also home to arguably the best snorkelling in the country. Beneath Sosua's turquoise-blue tranquil waters is a captivating hidden world teeming with coral reefs and exotic fish.
Amazing beach, with clear, warm water and stunning views. Lots of great local restaurants, bars and local vendors located right along the beach as well. Sosua Beach has a special 'vibe' all of its own and is hands down our favorite beach in the DR. Oh yeah, and there is great snorkeling just off shore!

A must visit and absolute gem. Not well known yet, but don't wait too long. Natural and secluded and often home to one of the most beautiful sunsets you will ever see. It's Incredible clear waters are tucked in beneath beautiful stone coastal walls. This beach is less crowded and vibrant than Sosua Beach, but arguably more stunning. Great snorkeling just off the beach and along the shoreline on a calm day. A relaxing vibe with a couple of awesome restaurants near by as well

Another lesser known, but no less beautiful beaches in Sosua. A sandy beach, with a calm reef set in turquoise waters. Great spot to hang out for the day and jump right in to enjoy the spectacular water and reef system

One of the best places to watch a sunset. Located right above Playa Alicia. You can enjoy a table inside, on the patio, or grab a chair down on the beach and have them bring your food and drinks right to you! The food is great, but you definitely pay just a little more here compared to some other spots, just based on its location but it is definitely worth a visit, especially right around sunset on a clear day.

Owned by a Canadian couple and centrally located in a great spot right in the heart of Sosua. One of the most popular watering holes in the city and for good reason. The staff is great, the interior and the decor is very cool and the food is always good. The vibe and the clientele in here is awesome and you'll likely make a few new friends if you hang out for a couple of hours. Check out the live music shows, we always have a great night at Jolly's when a band or signer is playing.

Easily our favorite place to eat (and hydrate) in all of Sosua. Firstly, the staff here is awesome. They are super friendly and always very welcoming. Its a great spot to watch a game or any sports event and the food is all great and really well priced. There are daily specials and happy hours that are always worth checking out. It's not far from the beach either. You will feel right at home in here and we pretty much guarantee that once you try Flip Flops you'll want to go back again and again...
