The north coast is the independent traveler's Dominican Republic: Cabarete lives for kitesurf and surf, Sosua for its bay and Puerto Plata for its Victorian old town and the only cable car in the Caribbean.

The essentials

The cable car up Loma Isabel de Torres, the San Felipe Fortress and the 27 waterfalls of Damajagua, the best freshwater adventure in the country. In Cabarete, Encuentro beach at sunrise belongs to surfers.

Moving along the north coast

Caribe Tours connects Puerto Plata with Santiago and Santo Domingo six times a day. Between Puerto Plata, Sosua and Cabarete everything moves by local guaguas and taxis. Guagualine covers the long route with assisted booking.
